  MANIPUR
  An instrument consisting of two saucer-shaped disks made of highly refined bronze. The disks are evenly depressed. Long colourful woollen cords are attached on the outer (concave) side of the disks to hold them. The disks are frontally clapped together to produced a long and sustained humming note. Used in manipuri dances.
