August 10,2023, Srinagar Kashmir, India : Noor Mohammad, a Shopkeeper sells earthen pots outside the Hazratbal Shrine in Srinagar. In Kashmiri weddings, traditional music holds immense cultural significance, and the Tumbaknari—a musical instrument—takes centre stage in expressing the emotions of joy and love. Commonly used during weddings by womenfolk, Tumbaknari has its roots traced back to Central Asia but has found its home in Kashmir, where it has been cherished for centuries. The locally made Tumbaknari mainly consists of clay, with animal skin used at its bottom to produce a beautiful sound that complements the vocals.
