(SHIM)
Shivmalhar Dhol Tasha Troupe, Bengaluru
Shivmalhaar Dhol Tasha Pathak (SHIM BLR) is an ethical, Pune-rooted Dhol Tasha troupe based in Bengaluru, redefining the traditional Dhol Tasha circuit. Shivmalhaar made its dynamic debut on Shivjayanti 2025, marking the beginning of a new rhythmic journey in the cultural landscape of Bangalore.
Grounded in tradition yet shaped by a modern, diverse city, Shivmalhaar represents a living bridge between Maharashtra’s cultural legacy and Bengaluru’s cosmopolitan spirit.
Shivmalhaar is driven purely by passion. No member of the troupe is paid—our true fuel is collective energy, deep devotion, and the powerful emotion that live Dhol Tasha creates. When listeners say, “We’ve never heard such rhythms in Dhol Tasha before,” or “It felt like Pune or Mumbai,” and thank us for introducing them to this art form, we know our music has reached a place where words fall short.
