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,
06:05at the Sangeet Natak Academy,
06:08and we met our guru there,
06:11Dr. Shri Khan Shukla Sir taught us,
06:14and within a month,
06:18he made us capable enough
06:20to give presentations on the stage.
06:24He taught us the basics,
06:26he taught us in such a way,
06:28he said,
06:30if you find a good guru,
06:32then your personality
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
06:56to come to this stage,
06:59and Dr. Shri Khan Shukla Sir
07:02taught us,
07:05and our self-confidence increased,
07:09and he made us capable enough
07:12to give presentations on 2-3 stages.
07:15My name is Dipanshi Tiwari,
07:18and I have been learning for 6 months.
07:22I study in class 3,

08:18When we have such a guru with us,
08:21we get the motivation to learn,
08:24and Guruji has never done partiality.
08:27How do you see the future of dholak?
08:31I just want to become like Guruji,
08:34so that my hands get set.
08:37Do you see it as a career?
