Kael is also called as the Dogra trumpet. Dogras have a rich musical history. Many instruments made their way to the present generation and earned fame and popularity while some others could not cross that line. Kael is one of them. It was traditionally used for inviting people to a congregation or a feast. It is still used in some marriage ceremonies. Mostly, it is used thrice during the marriage of the daughter: beginning of the saant, before the post saant lunch and vidaai of the daughter. The tradition of using kael is dying fast and it needs to be revived soon to preserve the rich dogra heritage.
