What is a "ghatam"?
A ghatam is a traditional Indian percussion instrument made from clay. It has a wide, rounded shape with a narrow opening at the top. The player produces sound by striking the surface and sides of the ghatam with their hands and fingers. The instrument is known for its deep, resonant tones and versatile sound, which can range from low, bass-like notes to high, sharp sounds. The ghatam is commonly used in South Indian classical music, as well as in various folk and devotional music traditions, adding a distinctive rhythmic texture to performances.
