Meet Jahan Geet, The Female Dholi

She wanted to drum to her dreams and she did, silencing more than just silly stereotypes along the way. This is the story of 20-year-old Jahan Geet from Chandigarh. 🎤🎼👏 She’s not only among the very few woman dholis in India, she’s also probably the youngest.

    This is the problem. There are plenty of Dhol groups in MH. They have got enough number of girls who play dhols, big dhols during Ganesh Utsav. Good luck to her.

    Nothing new. Some bengali women do the same in West Bengal. They have made their way too.

    What matters most is that she is enjoying every bit of it so public opinion doesn't matter at all.

    Absolutely stunning. Absolutely wonderful to see that a girl playing Dhol and men are dancing fabulously. What a challenge she took. Really for the first time in my life I have seen such magnificent art what a girl achieved to entertain and amuse the males folk so far dominated by males only. So far the idea has been bizzare but to play Dhole by a girl has been materialised. God and goddesses bless bless Geet.
