Charbait, which is a popular folk singing style of Rajasthan, is famous here?
Charbait is a form of folk theatre—resembling a musical duel—prevalent in the city of Tonk,
Rajasthan. In this style, songs are sung with great emotional intensity while kneeling,
accompanied by the playing of the traditional Dhap instrument, much like Qawwali
performances. This tradition was initiated by Abdul Karim Khan and Khalifa Karikh Khan
Nihang during the reign of Nawab Faizullah Khan of Tonk. Originally, Charbait is an art form
associated with the Pathans. The Dhapli is the primary musical instrument used in Charbait.
