Meri saheli magazine subscription published this article page no 36 Khadtaal We often see this instrument depicted in the hands of Meerabai and other Bhaktikaleen poets of the Medieval period. Held in one hand the khadtaal is made of two similar pieces of wood with brass fittings. One piece of it has space for a thumb the other for four fingers these are struck together to produce a simple percussive beat. It is easy to see the close resemblance between a khadtaal and the Spanish castanets used as accompaniment for the famous Flamenco music and dance. Manjeeras These form an important part of the terah-tali dance where they are worn all over the body! Manjeeras are a pair of flat metallic disks that are beaten together to produce a rhythmic metallic sound. Apart from a pair of manjeeras held in each hand the terah-tali dancers wear manjeeras on their legs and additional ones on their arms and shoulders! Seated on the ground they rotate and sway each movement being punctuated by the rhythmic sound of several manjeeras coming in contact with one another meri saheli mehndi design book free download pdf
