Renowned folk artist in Jaipur, Rajasthan, Gopal Ji Khichi is playing Nagara for more than 30+ years and he has been an All India Radio Artist. Nagaras were treated as war drums. The loud and thundering beat of the huge drums usually meant that the army was marching into the battle. Before the advent of the cannons, the drums were used as well to herald the arrival of the kings and the princess, however nowadays Nagaras are used for all sorts of activities.
