The eight-day workshop, a community-based initiative, was recently held at Ketu Gaburjut in Naxalbari in Darjeeling district .
One of the key objectives of holding this workshop was to encourage the master craftsmen and others involved in the making of these instruments and build up their confidence.
The workshop also focused on research and documentation regarding these instruments and the ritualistic dances of the Dhimal community as well as take appropriate steps to preserve the dances and the musical instruments which together constitute a centuries-old art form now threatened with extinction.
