Not my first trip to this store in #Nashik but this time I had a specific goal: to buy a Punjabi #dhol to play in a cousin-in-law’s wedding. The process was an interesting experience in just how regional #India is. In the west “dhol” (#drum) is synonymous with a Punjabi dhol and of course in Punjab there are legions of dhol craftsmen and options. Here in Nashik they know and play Marathi and Nashik dhols.

I had to send pictures of what I wanted, it was pretty hard to find, there were very few options, and some of the basic accessories weren’t available.

Thanks to a patient cousin we found it and I’m ready for the #baraat!
