New Damaru, Indian Music Instrument Percussion Hinduism
A damaru is a small two-headed drum shaped like an hourglass. The drum is typically made of wood, with leather drumhead. Its height ranges from a few inches to a little over a foot. It is played one handed. The strikers are typically beads fastened to the ends of thread or leather cords around the waist of the damaru. Knots in the thread or leather can also be used as strikers. As the player waves the drum using a twisting wrist motion, the strikers beat on the drumhead.
The damaru is very common throughout the Indian subcontinent. The Damaru is known as a power drum, and when played tends to bring spiritual energy. It is especially associated with the Hindu deity Shiva. One legend has it that Shiva gave the world its first syllabary as the sounds of the Sanskrit language arose from his drumbeats (see Shiva Sutra for the sounds), and his performance of the cosmic dance of tandava. It is also used in Tibetan Buddhism in a ritual manner particularly with the trance sadhana of the Chod. Folk style percussion music instrument. Height - 5.5 inches, Dia - 4 inches, Weight - 150 grams. Made by music instrument craftsmen of Bareilli in India.
