Manjira is known by many names. It is also called jhanj, tala,
mondira, (small size) kafi (large size), or a host of other names.
It is basically a set of small cymbals. It is a ubiquitous component
of dance music and bhajans. It is a very ancient instrument;
examples may be seen on temple walls going back to the earliest of
times. They are usually made of brass |
