India history and geography
Source: Mandala Texts: Nga: DrumsChamnga (འཆམ་རྔ་) refers to “dance drums”.—When the drum (i.e., nga) is played to call the monks and priests back to the ritual after an interval, the two straight drumsticks are normally used. Two straight sticks are also used when the drum accompanies a silnyen (སིལ་སྙན་) cymbal but not a rolmo (རོལ་མོ་) cymbal. The dance drums or chamnga (འཆམ་རྔ་) are also of the same shape but of much smaller size measuring about half a metre in circumference and 5cms in thickness. The dancers hold the drum with their left hand and the semi-pear shaped drumstick with their right. A small scarf is attached to the tip of the drum for decoration.
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.
