The dhol is a large, barrel-shaped drum played with sticks, producing loud and lively beats. The tabla consists of two hand drums of different sizes, used for creating intricate rhythms in Indian music. Dandiya sticks are short, decorated wooden sticks used in traditional dances like Garba and Dandiya Raas, where dancers tap them in rhythm with the music. All three instruments are key in adding rhythm, coordination and excitement to Indian folk dance performances.
