00:24In Indian tradition the dholak is an important instrument,

00:27Dholak has played an important role in folk music.

00:32People of all walks of life are learning Dholak.

00:35Let's find out why people are getting interested in Dholak,

00:40what is its history, what are its details,

00:43and why Dholak is being used in all kinds of music.

00:48Dholak is played in every culture from birth to death.

00:54Dholak is the only tradition in India that we worship.

01:01In marriages, Dholak is worshipped first.

01:05After that, Batase are offered to the bride.

01:10After that, a ceremony begins.

01:13I remember when I was a child, Dholak used to go from our house.

01:16When it came back, it came with Batase.

01:19I didn't have that much, but I used to ask my parents.

01:24They used to tell me that Dholak is worshipped,

01:28and it is not sent without worship.

01:30This is the identity of our Indian culture.

01:33Indian culture is wonderful.

01:36Every instrument has its own uniqueness.

01:41Dholak is a very special instrument.

01:44If we talk about Dholak,

01:47there was a very good Dholak teacher, Ustad Bafati Khan.

01:52The three sons of Ustad Bafati Khan,

01:58Saptar Bhai, Azad Bhai, and Sehzad Bhai,

02:04had another student, Ustad Muhammad Azeem Khan.

02:08I had the opportunity to learn from Ustad Muhammad Azeem Khan.

02:13Now I try to teach.

02:18I have been learning for 35 years.

02:20I am also a student.

02:23I have come as a student, and I want to leave as a student.

02:27This is my world.

02:29My name is Jeetendra Kumar Verma.

02:31I have retired from Kendi Seva.

02:34I have been interested in music since childhood.

02:40My mother used to sing bhajans.

02:42Until I was active, I was not able to do bhajans.

02:50But after retirement, I thought that I am a religious person.

02:55So I am very interested in music.

02:57Especially in dholak and bhajan songs.

03:00I also sing songs on YouTube.

03:03And the biggest discovery I made was that

03:06since 2010, I have been a patient of blood pressure.

03:10So when I get lost while listening to music,

03:14my blood pressure starts to get controlled.

03:17And the doctor has also stopped my BP medicines.

03:19So this is a big thing.

03:21My name is Jaya Dhirvedi.

03:23I am a working student.

03:25I have two saloons in Gomti Nagar.

03:27And I have been interested since childhood.

03:30I have seen in many places,

03:32that at my home or at other places,

03:34if there is a kirtan or some bhajan is going on,

03:37and dholak is being played,

03:38otherwise, if a member gets up,

03:41they wait for the dholak player to come

03:44and then the kirtan starts.

03:46So when I was young, I used to see these things.

03:49Sometimes I used to play at half distance.

03:51So I used to see where Jaya has gone.

03:53And then the kirtan starts.

03:55So after so long,

03:57my field is different,

03:59when I came to know that our guruji

04:01used to teach very well,

04:04and then I got a chance to meet him.

04:05So I saw this thing,

04:07that in 15 days,

04:09whatever I played, I played very well.

04:11And I went to many places,

04:13so it is a big thing.

04:15So this is going to be completed,

04:17that I play dholak, I play kirtan,

04:19I complete it.

04:21So he is our guruji,

04:23he teaches very well,

04:25and we want to continue with him.

04:27My name is Pramila Mishra,

04:29and I am a professional lawyer

04:31in the High Court.

04:33And one day,

04:35someone comes and plays kirtan.

04:37That day, there was a kirtan,

04:39there were two women from our colony,

04:41they were also not there.

04:43Then we felt that we should learn it ourselves.

04:45Then we called SNM,

04:47there we got to know about guruji,

04:49that he was teaching in the workshop.

04:51So we went there,

04:53we attended the workshop for a week,

04:55and we got so much,

04:57that our hands started moving.

04:59Then we got a little confidence,

05:01then we talked to sir,

05:03that we want to learn more.

05:05Then we got the program done,

05:07that our hands opened up a little.

05:09Then the more our hands opened,

05:11the more confidence we got,

05:13then we thought,

05:15let's continue further.

05:17The biggest thing is,

05:19if you catch any vadiantra,

05:21or any song of music,

05:23if you catch anything,

05:25if you find the guru right,

05:27then your interest increases.

05:29Increasing your interest means

05:31that you find that thing easy,

05:33and after finding it easy,

05:35you find it difficult.

05:37I will say what I want to say in two lines.

05:40Many victories are yet to come,

05:43many defeats are yet to come,

05:45the essence of life is yet to come,

05:48we have come from here for a destination,

05:51this is just a page,

05:53the book is yet to come.

05:55At the age of 53,

05:58at this age,

06:00we were fortunate enough

06:02to go to a workshop,

06:26he taught us in such a way,

06:28he said,

06:30if you find a good guru,

06:35will also be affected,

06:38and your interest will also increase.

06:44I have seen since childhood,

06:46my mother was into classical music,

06:48but the circumstances were such

06:50that we were never able

06:52to go towards music.

06:54But we were fortunate
