India history and geography
Source: Mandala Texts: Nga: DrumsBangnga (བང་རྔ་) refers to “procession drums”.—A longer drum measuring about 30-50cm circumference and about the same length from one drumhead to the other is used for processions. Called bangnga (བང་རྔ་) or procession drum, this type of drum is less refined, has much thicker skin and is played using a short wooden stick. The drums traditionally used by the musicians among the Lhotshampa communities of southern Bhutan are similar to this drum. In some temples, one can also find a ritual drum which is as large as few metres in circumference and fixed to a wooden frame. They are stationed in the temple halls and beaten during rituals with two large sticks. The use of such drums, however, is more common in the Tibetan monasteries than in Bhutan. In some contexts, a drum may be suspended from the ceiling rather than being fixed in a drum holder.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
