A handcrafted Indian folk percussion instrument with a classic barrel-shaped wooden shell and two drumheads, each delivering distinct bass and treble tones. The smaller head (played with the dominant hand) is made with goat skin for sharp, high notes, while the larger head (played with the non-dominant hand) features buffalo skin for deeper, low-pitched sounds. Bodies are typically carved from seasoned mango wood or sheesham and strung with cotton/nylon rope or fitted with bolts for precision tuning. The dholak is widely used in Indian classical, folk, devotional, and modern music, especially during weddings, festivals, and cultural celebrations. Its vibrant, resonant sound and rhythmic range make it an essential instrument for group performances and ceremonies.
