Holi, the festival of colours, arrives each year with an energy that is both joyful and deeply rooted in tradition. Streets and public squares transform into spaces of shared celebration, where music and colour come together to mark renewal, harmony, and the triumph of joy. In Fiji, Holi is celebrated with a unique local twist and is commonly called Phagwa which is sung using musical instruments.
Bina musical instruments have become a popular choice among schools, temples, and community groups for one simple reason: accessibility.
Designed to be affordable yet durable, Bina instruments allow people of all ages to participate in music-making without barriers. Their lightweight and portable design makes them ideal for outdoor celebrations, street gatherings, and school events where music needs to move with the crowd.
For beginners and children, Bina instruments are especially welcoming. The dholak, available in both mini and full sizes, provides an easy-to-learn rhythm that drives Phagwa singing and dancing. Manjeera and tambourines add bright, uplifting beats that encourage group participation.
Together, these instruments create an inclusive musical environment where community singing and dancing can flourish.
Adding depth and classical richness to Phagwa celebrations Lahore instruments are also known for their authentic Indian craftsmanship and wide variety.
These instruments are commonly used in temples, cultural programs, and formal performances, where melody and precision play an important role.
The harmonium remains central to Holi and devotional music, providing a strong melodic base for singing traditional Phagwa songs.
Tabla and pakhawaj bring refined rhythm to classical and semi-classical performances, while the dholak and bhangra drum energise folk songs and festive dances. Supporting instruments like manjeera and ghungroo maintain rhythm and enhance movement, especially during group and dance performances. The flute adds a softer, melodic layer, connecting folk traditions with classical expression.
What makes Lahore instruments particularly valued is their durability and versatility. Built for repeated use during festivals and cultural events, they serve professionals, students, and community performers alike.
Together, Bina and Lahore instruments help keep the spirit of Phagwa alive in Fiji. Through rhythm, melody, and shared participation, they transform communities together in a joyful, harmonious celebration of tradition.
