Course Summary
Dholki is a popular folk percussion instrument in Maharashtra. The Dholki is associated with the poetic tradition of singing the heroic Powada of the knights, but it is also associated with Tamasha. Dholki is played for the accompaniment of the Lavani form, which presents all subjects from beauty to spirituality through poetry. There was a time in Marathi films when the narratives from Tamashas or street plays were adopted. It is from this foundation that the Dholki found popularity and is also popular as an independent musical instrument that musicians pursued, apart from the popular ones. The Dholak/Dholki, also commonly known as the Nal, is a drum with a barrel-shaped shell.

Students completing this all-rounder course will be able to perform in front of an audience after regular practice and learning with commitment.
