00:23Dholak is playing an important role in Indian culture
00:27Dholak has played an important role in folk music.
00:32All the people of Var are learning Dholak.
00:34Let's find out why people are getting interested in Dholak.
00:39What is its history? What are its details?
00:42And why is Dholak being used in all music genres?
00:47In every culture, from birth to death,
00:50Dholak is played in every culture.
00:54In India, Dholak is the only instrument
00:59that is worshipped.
01:01In marriages, Dholak is first worshipped.
01:05After that, it is adorned with Batase.
01:09After that, a ceremony begins.
01:12When I was a child, Dholak was taken from our house.
01:15When it came back, it was adorned with Batase.
01:18I was not aware of this, but I used to ask my parents.
01:24They used to say that Dholak is worshipped,
01:27but it is not sent without worship.
01:29This is the identity of our Indian culture.
01:33Indian culture is amazing.
01:36Every instrument has its own uniqueness.
01:41Dholak is a unique instrument.
01:44If we talk about Dholak,
01:47there was a very good Ustad of Dholak, Ustad Bafati Khan Sahib.
01:52Bafati Khan Sahib had three sons.
01:58Saptar Bhai, Azad Bhai and Sehzad Bhai.
02:04One of his students was Ustad Mohammad Azim Khan Sahib.
02:08I had the opportunity to learn from Mohammad Azim Khan Sahib.
02:13Now I am trying to teach him.
02:18I have been learning for 35 years.
02:21I am also a student.
02:22I have come here as a student.
02:25I want to leave this world as a student.
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.
02:43Until I was active, I was not able to do it due to time constraints.
02:50But after my retirement, I thought that since I am a religious person,
02:54I am very interested in music.
02:57I sing songs in Dholak, Bhajan songs and YouTube.
03:02Since 2010, I have been a patient of blood pressure.
03:11When I get lost while listening to music,
03:15my blood pressure starts to get controlled.
03:17The doctor has also stopped my BP medicines.
03:19This is a big thing.
03:21My name is Jaya Dhirvedi.
03:22I am a working woman.
03:24I have two saloons in Gomti Nagar.
03:26Since childhood, I have been interested in many things.
03:31In my house and other places,
03:34if there is a Kirtan or Bhajan,
03:36and Dholak is being played,
03:38the members get up and wait for the Dholak to start playing.
03:45When I was young, I used to watch it.
03:48Sometimes, I used to play it too.
03:51I used to see where Jaya is and wait for the Kirtan to start.
03:55My field is different.
03:58When I came to know that my Guru teaches very well,
04:04and I got a chance to meet him,
04:05I realized that in 15 days,
04:08whatever I played, I played it very well.
04:10I have been to many programs.
04:12This is a big thing.
04:14This is going to be fulfilled.
04:16I will play Dholak, Kirtan and Bhajan.
04:19He is my Guru.
04:20He teaches very well.
04:22I want to continue with him.
04:24My name is Pramila Mishra.
04:26I am a professional lawyer in the High Court.
04:30One day, I was playing Kirtan.
04:33When we play Kirtan, someone comes and plays it.
04:36That day, there was no one to play Kirtan.
04:38There were only two women from our colony.
04:40We felt that we should learn it ourselves.
04:43We called the SNM.
04:45We got to know about Guruji.
04:47He was teaching in the workshop.
04:48We attended the workshop for a week.
04:51We got so much that our hands started moving.
04:53We got a little confidence.
04:55We talked to Sir and told him that we want to learn more.
04:57He said, okay, learn.
04:59After that, we kept coming to the program.
05:01While preparing for the program,
05:03Sir organized so many programs that our hands started moving.
05:08The more our hands started moving, the more confidence we got.
05:10Then we decided to continue.
05:13The most important thing is that
05:15if you learn any Vadiantra or any music,
05:19if you get the right Guru, your interest increases.
05:21Increasing your interest means that you find it easy.
05:25After finding it easy, you learn it easily.
05:27If you don't get the right Guru,
05:29your interest increases and you lose focus.
05:33My name is Bhavna Shrivastava.
05:36I will say what I want to say in two lines.
05:41Many victories are yet to come. Many defeats are yet to come.
05:45The essence of life is yet to come.
05:48We have started from here for a destination.
05:51This is just a page.
05:53The book is yet to come.
05:56At the age of 53,
06:00we were fortunate enough to go to a workshop
06:06at the Sangeet Natak Academy.
06:08We met our Guru there.
06:11Dr. Srikant Shukla Sir taught us.
06:15Within a month, he made us capable enough
06:20to give presentations on the stage.
06:24He taught us the basics.
06:28He said that if you get the right Guru,
06:34it will influence your personality
06:38and increase your interest.
06:44I have seen it since childhood.
06:46My mother was into classical music.
06:49But we were never able to pursue music.
06:55We were fortunate to come to this stage.
06:59We are learning with Dr. Srikant Shukla Sir.
