<holidayfyi-glossary slug="dhol"></holidayfyi-glossary>A large double-headed barrel drum played throughout South Asia during festivals, weddings, and celebrations. During Diwali, Holi, Baisakhi, and Navratri, the dhol's powerful beats set the pace for Bhangra and Garba dances. The instrument is integral to the festive soundscape of the Indian subcontinent and has spread globally through diaspora communities.
