The Dholak is mainly a folk instrument, lacking the exact tuning and playing techniques of the tabla or the Pakhawaj. The vibrations create a bass sound and lend a different hue to the music. It is widely used in Indian film music and also in traditional weddings among some communities in India.

Shakti ("power, ability, strength, might, effort, energy, capability"), is the primordial cosmic energy and represents the dynamic forces that are thought to move through the entire universe in Hinduism.

Shakti is the concept or personification of divine feminine creative power, sometimes referred to as "The Great Divine Mother" in Hinduism. On the earthly plane, Shakti most actively manifests through female embodiment and creativity/fertility. It is believed that Shakti is both responsible for creation and the agent of all change. Shakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation.

Ganesha is truly a combination of both human and animal parts and thereby symbolizes life or being in its diverse aspects. His form also symbolizes the combination of all five elements. It has both symmetrical and asymmetrical aspects. Together they represent fullness. They also reflect the duality of perfection and imperfection as well as the transcendental and the immanent aspects of our creation.

Meera, also known as Meera Bai or Mirabai (1498-1546) was a Hindu mystic poet and devotee of Krishna God. Most legends about Meera mention her fearless disregard for social and family conventions, her devotion to god Krishna, her treating Krishna as her husband, and she being persecuted by her in-laws for her religious devotion.
Thousands of devotional poems in passionate praise of Lord Krishna are attributed to Meera in the Indian tradition, but just a few hundred are believed to be authentic by scholars, and the earliest written records suggest that except for two poems, most were written down only in the 18th century.
What devotion! What divine love for the lord!
