The Roar Of Maharashtra In London: Dhol, Devotion And Diaspora | Out Of Britain
The unmistakable sound of dhol and tasha echoed through London as hundreds from the Maharashtrian community came together for a vibrant celebration of culture, faith and identity.
In this episode of Out Of Britain, NDTV's Radhika Iyer joins more than 150 dhol and tasha artists as they bring the energy and traditions of Maharashtra to the UK capital. From doctors and engineers to nurses and students, performers speak about preserving a cherished cultural legacy thousands of miles from home.
The event also served as a fundraising initiative for an ambitious project - a proposed Pandharpur-inspired Vitthal-Rukmini temple in London. Supporters say the temple would become a spiritual and cultural hub for future generations of the diaspora.
From powerful drumbeats to community conversations, this is a story about keeping traditions alive and building a home away from home.
