chenda definition and meaning

What is a "chenda"?

A chenda is a traditional cylindrical drum from Kerala, India, commonly used in classical and folk music performances. It has a wooden body with a pair of large, tightly stretched drumheads made of animal skin. The chenda is played with two wooden sticks, one of which strikes the drumhead to produce a sharp, resonant sound, while the other controls the rhythm and dynamics. The drum is known for its deep, powerful tones and is often used in temple festivals, processions, and energetic performances, adding a vibrant and rhythmic element to the music.
