The ‘Tumba’ musical instrument is commonly used in:

Kashmiri folk songs
Dogra folk songs
Ladakhi folk songs

The correct answer is: a) Kashmiri folk songs.

The tumba is a double-headed drum that is commonly used in Kashmiri folk songs. It is made of wood and has a skin on each head. The tumba is played by striking the skins with the hands or with sticks. It is a very important instrument in Kashmiri music and is used to accompany a variety of songs, including love songs, dance songs, and religious songs.

The other options are incorrect because the tumba is not commonly used in those types of music.

  • b) Dogra folk songs are typically accompanied by the dhol, a large drum that is played with sticks.
  • c) Ladakhi folk songs are typically accompanied by the chang, a set of five metal bells that are worn around the neck.
  • d) Gojri music is typically accompanied by the sarangi, a stringed instrument that is played with a bow.
