Description
The dholak anchors every celebration in Rajasthan, from weddings to harvest festivals, its two-headed drum rhythm marks the heartbeat of community. This Babla wood pen stand takes that iconic form and brings it to your workspace: hand-carved into a dholak shape, then painted in the bold folk-art palette of Udaipur’s artisans, saffron, cobalt blue, and crisp white patterning across the barrel.
There’s something quietly joyful about having a piece of Rajasthani musical culture sitting on your desk. It’s functional, holds pens, markers, scissors, but it carries a story. Made by artisans in Udaipur whose families have been painting folk motifs for generations, each piece is slightly different in the brushwork details.
An ideal gift for music lovers, culture enthusiasts, or anyone who’d appreciate something genuinely handcrafted on their desk. Works as a standalone piece or paired with other folk-art desk accessories from the Premloom collection.

Why Premloom Envision?
You will find similar-looking decor in many online stores. Here is the difference: every Premloom piece is made by a named artisan family in Udaipur, Rajasthan. No factories, no resellers, no mass production. When you order, a real craftsperson goes to work. The slight variation in grain, colour, or finish is not a defect — it is the signature of handmade work. Your piece will never be identical to anyone else’s. That is what you are paying for.
