Edakka (Temple Drum)

Experience the rhythmic soul of Kerala with this decorative miniature Edakka, a traditional hourglass-shaped percussion instrument often referred to as a "devavadyam" or divine instrument. This piece showcases the authentic construction of the Edakka, featuring a wooden shell held together by cords that lace across the center, securing the two drumheads. Historically used in temple rituals and classical performances, this decorative drum is beautifully adorned with a dense cluster of bright, multi-colored yarn pompoms on one side, adding a festive and vibrant touch. Suspended by a traditional sling with black and gold accents, this handcrafted replica makes a unique cultural gift or an evocative addition to any collection celebrating Indian music and artistry.
