Himachali People playing Gajjus near Marhi...
Gajju drums are seen mostly in the Kulu, Kinnaur, Lahaul and Sirmaur Districts of Himachal Pradesh. They are kept in monasteries and temples to be used in the times of any religious festival or Pujas. People belonging to certain tribes prefer Gajju over other rhythm instruments and they play it in various social functions. The tribal dances where the men and the women dance together wearing colorful attires are incomplete without the magical rhythms of Gajju.
The Gajjus are played in different fairs and carnivals. Auspicious occasions like weddings, births etc. are welcomed with the beating of the Gajjus. The Gajju players lead the religious processions and thus they are an inseparable part of the festivities.
