Every year, for three days, Pune reverberates with rhythmic drumbeats during India’s first and only drum festival – Damru. The annual festival, started in 2011, attracts maestros such as Pandit Kumar Bose, Pandit Anindo Chatterjee, Pandit Bickram Ghosh and Sivamani, to name a few. More than 25,000 drumming enthusiasts attended the first two editions of the festival. In 2013, the festival is scheduled to be held in December, though the dates and venue are yet to be decided.
