Dholis




The state of Rajasthan is known for its colorful culture and music. Much of the credit goes to the Dholi, the singing community. These entertainers have been part of the celebrations in the region through the ages.

Dholis are well-versed in rendition of classical songs. These people are trained right from a young age, a tradition that has been carried out through numerous generations. Their songs are known for the rich variation in the tunes.

Dholis are a common sight in wedding ceremonies, fairs and festivals. They are now a much sought after entertainment group in the international circuits, where they form part of the finest musicians from India.
