Product Description:-
The Mridangam is a percussion instrument from India of ancient origin. It is the primary rhythmic accompaniment in a Carnatic music ensemble. Alternate spellings include “mrudangam”, “mrdangam”, “mritangam” and “miruthangam in Tamil”.
The mridangam is also played in Carnatic concerts in countries outside of India, including Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. During a percussion ensemble, the mridangam is often accompanied by the ghatam, kanjira, and the morsing. The mridangam is nicknamed as the “King of Percussion.
The word “Mridangam” is Sandhi or union of the two Sanskrit words mŗda (clay or earth) and anga (body), as early Mridangam were made of hardened clay.
