Nikhil Dewasthali

From the vibrant streets of Pune during Ganesh festival to the energetic beats of Greater Seattle, my journey with dhol-tasha has been nothing short of incredible. Playing since childhood, this art form is in my soul.
In BMM 2024, I had the honor of co-leading our team to victory at the BMM Dhol-Tasha competition, a moment that truly celebrated teamwork and rhythm.
Today, as co-founder of Shiva Rhythms of India, I’m proud to bring the spirit of Indian percussion to our local community and keep the tradition alive.
