Dotara

Dotara – The Melodic Soul of Folk Music

The Dotara is a traditional string instrument deeply rooted in the folk music of Bengal, Assam, and Bangladesh. With its simple wooden body and two to five strings, the Dotara produces soulful, rhythmic melodies that accompany Baul, Bhatiyali, and other regional music forms. Played by plucking the strings, this instrument carries the essence of rural traditions and storytelling.

At Utso Crafts, we intricately craft miniature wooden Dotaras, capturing the charm and cultural significance of this folk instrument. Perfect as collectibles, decor, or gifts, our handcrafted pieces celebrate the rich heritage of Indian and Bengali music.
