Nashik dhol pathak wales at Kandivali West, north west Mumbai. They often can be spotted with their giant drum kits laid out neatly by their side.

Customers on the lookout for a few hours of dhinchak music hire them. These musicians belong to the dhol-tasha troupes that travel to Mumbai each year from small towns across Maharashtra for the 11-day long Ganesh Puja festival.
