Shivmalhar (SHIM) is a Pune-rooted, ethically run Dhol Tasha troupe proudly based in Bengaluru.
We perform high-energy, soul-stirring Dhol Tasha while upholding the true Pathak culture built on integrity, teamwork, discipline, unity, and passion.

As a non-profit troupe, every rupee earned is reinvested into instruments, practice sessions, travel, and community initiatives.
We also support underprivileged children by helping them access musical instruments and training.

Our Music – Traditional Meets Modern

A musical fusion that is fresh, bold, and uniquely Shivmalhar.

Traditional Dhol Tasha patterns
Our music stays rooted in age-old Maharashtrian rhythms, preserving authentic beats, formations, and tempo that define the true essence of Dhol Tasha.
Folk rhythms from across India
We blend regional folk beats from multiple Indian cultures, creating a vibrant fusion that adds diversity, color, and rich tradition to our performances.
Western influences
Incorporating modern Western rhythmic ideas, transitions, and accents, we create a bold hybrid sound that elevates traditional Dhol Tasha to contemporary audiences.
Complex, self-composed polyrhythms
Our signature compositions feature layered polyrhythms influenced by progressive metal, adding depth, precision, intensity, and a unique identity to our performances.
