Bihu Dhol of Assam

Bihu Dhol is a traditional musical instrument played during the Bihu festival, which is celebrated in the Indian state of Assam. It is a percussion instrument that is played with two sticks. The dhol is made of wood and animal hide, and has a cylindrical shape.

During the Bihu festival, people in Assam dance to the beat of the Bihu dhol. The dhol players usually sit on the ground, with the dhol placed horizontally across their lap. They strike the two sides of the dhol with the sticks, creating a rhythmic beat that is both fast and energetic.

The Bihu dhol is an important part of Assamese culture and is played on various occasions, including weddings and other celebrations. It is also used in modern Assamese music, and has gained popularity in other parts of India and around the world.
