Citizens create rhythms by stepping in puddles and tapping umbrellas.
Mumbai has introduced Puddle Percussion Classes, a program where residents transform monsoon puddles into interactive musical experiences. According to The Times of India, instructors guide participants in rhythm creation using puddle splashes, umbrella taps, and synchronized movement.
Participants report amusement, creative stimulation, and stress relief. Organizers provide waterproof equipment, safe routes, and structured sessions. Critics question feasibility during heavy traffic, but supporters highlight urban enjoyment, cultural enrichment, and social engagement. Future expansions include competitive performances, seasonal showcases, and public events to celebrate monsoon creativity.
