Panche baaja (Nepali: पञ्चे बाजा, "five musical instruments") is a set of five traditional Nepali musical instruments that are played during holy ceremonies like marriages. Panche baajas are usually played by the Damai (Miji) and the Gaine; these are Dalit ("untouchable) castes in Hindu tradition.
Components
The panche baja includes the jhyali (cybals), tyamko (small kettledrum) or dholak (drums), damaha (large kettledrum), narsiha (a long S-shaped trumpet), shehnai (a folk oboe), and karnal (a wide-mouthed, straight trumpet).
