What is a "pakhavaj"?
A pakhavaj is a traditional cylindrical drum used in Indian classical music, particularly in North Indian or Hindustani music. It has a wooden body with two drumheads made of animal skin stretched over its ends. The drum is played with the hands, and each drumhead produces different tones depending on where and how it is struck. The pakhavaj is known for its deep, resonant sound and is often used in classical performances, including in accompaniment to vocal music and dance, adding a rich, rhythmic texture to the music.
