Ghumat forms an integral part of Goan folk, religious and temple music, both Hindu and Christian.
It serves as an accompaniment to the folk songs and to the mando music.
But most importantly it plays a vital role in the music played in Goa during the Ganesh festival.
It also used in most of the Goan temples during the spring season in an orchestra called as Suvari Vadan.

Khaprumama Parvatkar was one well known artist of this instrument.
