uravimpanesin

Uravimpanesin is a traditional percussion instrument from the state of Tamil Nadu in South India. It is a double-headed drum, typically made of a hollowed-out coconut shell filled with rice or other grains. The instrument is held vertically between the knees, with one hand on each side of the shell. The player strikes the shell with a stick called a "uravi," which is made of wood or metal. The uravimpanesin is used in various forms of music, including Carnatic classical music, folk music, and devotional songs. It is known for its resonant sound and is often used to accompany vocal performances. The instrument is also used in dance performances, where the rhythmic patterns created by the uravimpanesin are synchronized with the dancer's movements. The uravimpanesin is an essential part of the musical heritage of Tamil Nadu and is widely used in both traditional and contemporary music settings.
