Folk Instruments (e.g., Dhol, Algoza)

Folk instruments are traditional musical tools rooted in regional cultures, often handmade and used in local celebrations and rituals. For example, the Dhol is a large, drum-like instrument played with sticks, producing deep, rhythmic beats common in North Indian and Punjabi music. The Algoza consists of two wooden flutes played simultaneously, creating rich, harmonious melodies typical of North Indian and Pakistani folk music. These instruments carry cultural significance, reflecting community history and identity, and are used to evoke specific emotions or accompany dances and storytelling, helping preserve local traditions across generations.
