streched membrane
The vibrating part of a dholak is the circular membrane, known as the puri, which is typically made of goat skin. This membrane is struck with the hands or a stick to produce the drum's sound.
Sound in a dholak is produced by striking the drum's two heads with hands or sticks. The top head produces higher-pitched tones, while the bottom head produces deeper tones, creating a distinctive sound when played together. The drum's cylindrical shape and tension in the heads also contribute to the specific timbre of the dholak.
The membranes or heads of the dholak vibrate when struck with hands or sticks, producing sound. The tension of the heads and the force of impact determine the pitch and volume of the sound.
The cast of Dholak - 1951 includes: Kathana Majnu Shakuntala Mahendra Ramlal Shyamlal Ajit as Manohar Amir Banu Yashodra Katju Manmohan Krishna Meena Shorey as Mona Tun Tun
