Mirchi Plus, a leading Indian entertainment portal, has published a feature listing eight Bollywood songs that are rooted in Rajasthani folk traditions. The article points out that music directors have incorporated characteristic Rajasthani melodies, rhythms and instruments such as the kamayacha, dholak and khartal to give the tracks a distinct regional flavor.
