The dhol is a traditional drum widely used in South Asian music, especially in India and Pakistan. It has a large, barrel-shaped body made of wood, with animal skin stretched over both ends. The dhol is played with two sticks, producing a lively and rhythmic sound that is essential for celebrations, festivals, and folk dances like Bhangra. Often associated with joyous occasions, the dhol brings people together, encouraging them to dance and celebrate. Its energetic beats can be heard during weddings, cultural events, and religious festivals, making it a symbol of happiness and community spirit in Punjabi culture.
