Description

At Nepal Music Gallery, we are proud to offer a variety of traditional musical instruments, including the Khaijadi drum, a Nepalese frame drum that is an integral part of the country’s rich musical heritage.

Made from iguana skin stretched across a carved wooden shell, the Khaijadi drum produces a distinctive sound that is both rhythmic and melodic. The large size of the drum makes it perfect for accompanying traditional dances like chudka and kauda, which are performed by members of the Magar, Gurung, and other indigenous communities in Mid-Western Nepal during social activities.

Smaller versions of the Khaijadi drum are used by members of other ethnic groups, such as Brahmin and Chhetri, in devotional music known as bhajan. In other parts of Nepal, India, and Pakistan, frame drums like the khanjari, kanjira, and damphu are also used in devotional music traditions. Despite the differences in names and musical styles, these drums share a common history and cultural significance.

At Nepal Music Gallery, we are committed to preserving and promoting the rich musical heritage of Nepal and beyond. We offer a wide range of traditional instruments and accessories, including the Khaijadi drum, for musicians and music lovers alike. Whether you are a professional musician or a beginner, we have everything you need to explore the beauty and artistry of traditional music.
