Dhol Pathak Pune

Thousands of zealous devotees and awe-struck foreigners bid farewell to Ganapati Bappa to energetic beats of dhol.
Experimentation in the dhol beats reached unchartered heights as dhol tasha group 'Taal' played the African instrument 'djembe'. The group had 125 youngsters donning yellow 'kurtas', white Gandhi topis and 'shelas' to complete the attire.
"We prepared the African instrument from plastic water cans and played it the way drums are played," said Parikshit Phand of Taal. The group then rendered a mesmerizing 'jugalbandi', when dhols, tashas, djembes, conch shells and 400 'ghungroos' resounded together in perfect unison.
