Pune: Wakad Society Finds Innovative Way To Keep Dhol-Tasha Tradition Alive Without Noise Pollution
Pune, August 21, 2025: In Wakad’s Shonest Tower society, residents have found a creative way to uphold their cultural traditions while maintaining peace and comfort for everyone. Dhol-Tasha practice, a lively and integral part of Maharashtrian celebrations, often brings with it the challenge of loud noise, which can disturb those living nearby. Instead of discontinuing the practice, a group of enthusiastic women and children decided to innovate.
They introduced a simple yet effective solution—placing foam sheets on the Dhol and Tasha instruments. This modification significantly reduced the noise levels while still allowing the rhythmic beats and practice sessions to continue with the same enthusiasm. As a result, both children and adults can enjoy their daily practice without causing any disturbance.
This thoughtful approach reflects the spirit of Ganapati Bappa, the remover of obstacles, who inspires devotees to find ways to overcome challenges. It also highlights how traditions can be preserved with creativity, consideration, and community effort.
The initiative not only ensures cultural continuity but also promotes harmony among residents, showing that small changes can have a big impact. As the society prepares for the festive season, members are confident that their innovative step will inspire others to follow similar practices.
With blessings from Ganapati Bappa and a commitment to sustainable celebrations, Shonest Tower stands as an example of how unity and innovation can keep traditions alive while caring for everyone’s comfort.
Ganapati Bappa Morya!
