Dhol
Water colour on Canson cold pressed paper 18" x 24"

The main festival of Pune is "The Ganpati Festival". It is believed that Lord Ganesh visits and stays with us for a period of 10 days. Most homes install a Ganesh idol with elaborate rituals and seek blessings from him. The whole atmosphere is divine and energetic.
After 10 days, even when the heart is heavy as the Lord will be going away and will be missed for a year, a huge procession is organized in His honour.
Dhol is one of the instrument without which the procession just cannot be complete. The rhythm and beats of this instrument really takes the mind to some different level.
