The Punjabi dhol is a traditional drum widely associated with Punjabi music and culture, especially during festivals, weddings, and celebrations. It consists of a double-headed barrel-shaped drum, typically made from wood, with one side (called the "dagga") producing a deep bass sound, while the other side (called the "jhanga") produces a higher-pitched tone. Played with two sticks—one thick and heavy, and the other thinner—the dhol creates vibrant, energetic rhythms. Its lively beats are central to Bhangra music, embodying the spirit of joy and community. The dhol's sound is powerful, infectious, and deeply tied to the cultural identity of Punjab.
