Background

Maharashtrians like us have grown up with the rich tradition of Dhol-Tasha. We have enjoyed, participated and experienced the energy of dhol tasha. Like all of us, we want to preserve this rich tradition of Maharashtra and Bay-Dhund is our effort towards it.

Now as parents to kids growing here in American culture, we often question - what legacy, culture, tradition our next generation will carry with them that identifies them as Maharashtrians? We strongly believe that the excitement, fun, pride, the cool factor, and everything that Dhol-Tasha represents are ideal ways to engage with our next generation living here. We want to bring the next generation into this journey and give them this essence of culture and tradition as part of their identities in the future. Just like the legacy of Bhangra,Garba/Dandiya, we hope to take Dhol-Tasha to the next generation.

We know our dream is too grand but we also know we can only bring it into reality if we all get your support. Join us and be part of this. We welcome everyone who is interested in Maharashtrian traditions.
