The pakhawaj also called mardal, pakuaj, pakhvaj and mardala is an Ancient Indian barrel shaped percussion instrument. It is famous in North India. It is widely used for Orissi dancers and sometimes for Kathak. It is the standard percussion instrument in dhrupad. To Play Pakhawaj Set horizontally on a cushion in front of a crossed-leg pakhavaji the larger bass-skin is played with the left hand, the treble skin by the right hand. The goatskin membranes are looped with leather thongs around the hollowed barrel, which is widest in the middle. Eight pieces of two inch wooden round stock are pried between thongs and barrel and are hammered tight. The treble skin is fitted with three concentric rings of dense black hardened paste which helps create a sound resonant with harmonics. The bass fundamental tone will be the lower tonic. Traditionally, the Pakhawaj is favorite percussion instrument for performances of the Dhrupad-style, be it vocal, on Rudra-Veena or on Surbahar.
