• This Indian instrument is the most common accompaniment for renditions of devotional music and chants

• The cymbals have a depression in the middle and on the outside, the protrusion is where the fingers support the instrument The plates meet at the edges with each strike and this creates a high-pitched sound from this simple but perfectly tuned instrument. Manjeera is also known as the Tala, Khartal or Kartal depending on the region in which it is played.
