Description

The Nepalese frame drum is a fascinating traditional musical instrument with a rich cultural heritage, deeply rooted in the traditions of Nepal’s indigenous communities. Crafted from iguana skin stretched over a carved wooden shell, this drum produces a unique and resonant sound, making it an essential accompaniment to various traditional dances and devotional music.

The larger frame drums are particularly significant in social and cultural gatherings. These drums are often used in dances like Chudka and Kauda, which are performed by the Magar, Gurung, and other indigenous communities of Mid-Western Nepal. These vibrant dances are a key part of social activities, fostering unity and celebration within the community.

The instrument’s distinctiveness lies not only in its sound but also in its craftsmanship, showcasing the skill and creativity of Nepali artisans. It stands as a testament to the rich musical and cultural traditions that continue to thrive in Nepal.
