Pakistan is most of the times in news for bombs and terrorism, but we do have more then that associated with us. Below find some pictures of People enjoying Dhol, Men are dancing on the sound of dhol and women are watching (its not like they are not allowed to Dance, they just choose not too).
The sound of dhol is so mesmerizing even a small kid is lost in it. you can see the feeder bottle in the picture above.
Covered in colorful veils another women joins in to enjoy the sound of DHOl.

For those who dont know what a dhol is---The dhol is a double-sided barrel drum (straight barrels also exist) played mostly as an accompanying instrument to the traditional Punjabi dance of Bhangra, and the religious music of Sufism, Qawwali
