This might be the age of digital and electronic music, but traditional musical instruments still play a key role during Ganesh Chaturthi. Instruments such as tabla, dholki, mrudunga, ghumat and taal have remained an integral part of the Ganpati festival for years and are still going strong.
“The sale of traditional musical instruments and number of them coming for repair has remained constant for the past few years. This signifies that traditions will never die,” a representative of Haribhau Vishwanath Company, a musical instruments store at Dadar, said. “The number of instruments brought in for repair as well as sale has increased significantly this year. The number of dholki and taal sold during Ganpati festival this season is higher as compared to the past few years,” Ramchandra Kale of Shree Ramchandra Govind Kale Instruments, said.
