Gondi folk instruments

Gondi folk instruments are traditional musical tools used by the Gondi people of central India to accompany their storytelling, dance, and rituals. Notable instruments include the *Dolu* (a drum for rhythm), the *Bojho* (a string instrument similar to a fiddle), and the *Bansi* (a bamboo flute for melodies). These instruments are crafted from locally available materials and hold cultural significance, often used in community gatherings to celebrate festivals, mark important events, and preserve their oral traditions. Their sounds are integral to Gondi cultural expression, combining rhythmic beats with haunting melodies that connect listeners to their heritage.
