The mridangam (Sanskrit: म्र्दांगम , Tamil: மிருதங்கம் ) 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", "mrithangam", "miruthangam", and "mirudhangam".
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.

This is such an intriguing and informative video! Superbly interesting! I've always wondered how musical instruments are made! Thanks for posting this! It was truly a delight to watch (and hear!!)!
thank you for sharing this video. It was interesting to know the making of mridangam...
This is a south Indian mrdangam. In the north of India, there is a drum that is called Pakhvaaj by many, but some call that Mrdang or Mrdanga. And on top of it, the Hare Krshna folk call their drum a Mrdang too, although it differs from both the northern and southern Mrdang-s. There is a bit of complexity in the nomenclature as India is a vast and ancient culture.
wow....quite informative and educative....and the mridangam thani in the background was awesome....i think i haven't heard so crisp and clear mridangam sounds many times before....thanks for uploading.
wow fascinating...
Glad you enjoy it!

where the iron powder is available?
Very good
nice.
hello
i play the mridangam so it is watching how m
is there mridangam tablas
What are you talking about puru00047?! They're making these instruments in "primitive working conditions" because they don't need modern equipment to make traditional instruments. You need to have skill to make an instrument; having newer equipment is not going to create good quality if there is no craftsman. Even in the west, people pay a premium for handmade instruments, even though they can be made very cheaply by factories in China, and elsewhere.
Lot of efforts to make one mridanga !
Thank u for sharing
Any kdea what is the material used to cover both the sides not the one that u have explained a thin layer which is pulled by thd string
Very informative!! But they missed to explain about the insertion of the kutchis for the Kutchi Mridangam and what's different in the Kappi Mridangam. Skins of different animals are used in the 2 layers of the bass side. Missed that as well. Apart from these, overall a very good explanatory video.
😜 😜
Sir which animal skins are used ?
@@rishabmazumdar5635 Goat, Cow and Buffalo skins together.
Bhai ji kha tiyar hoti h dholak aadresh btao apna and mobail. No do
This is pure tradition al one earlier..glass...now fibre glass making even metal...palghat is famous
Where was the address of shop
Please give
where can I get one to buy
Aron Ali you have to go to any music store were they sell Carnatic musical equipments..online store would be a worst idea.
Rahul Kumar thanks bro
Aron Ali better get hold of a Mridangam artist/teacher. He will have sources to purchase directly from a Mridangam maker. Those are better quality and better sounding ones than those sold in the shops
from where I can purchase in right price in delhi?and anyone know then tell me price?
Sir I want a mridangam
What is that black thing that they put in 2:07
It is a tool used for pulling out stray bits of wood.

Mridangam is not a wooden instrument. Commercialisation has resulted in wooden made Mridangam. Its the Instrument of Earth... Mrid- Maati (Earth) Angam (organ- Instrument)
This my relative
ignorancia. hoje em dia tem tanto tipo de material pra reciclar... não precisa derrubar arvores...

They didn't show the process of removing the baffalo skin, mostly died animal or killed.

Yep...that is because they don't want anyone to know the ugly, unpalatable side of their cultural and religious practices.
It is usually sourced from dead cattle. You must not know that the indian people revere cows.
'Mridangam' was originally made out of clay. It's modernization that enabled mass production of this instrument which resulted in exploitation of animals & trees. Veganism, environmentalism and all kinds of ethics originated from the Hindu culture and religion. We are against cattle slaughter, especially the cow and are the largest vegetarian country in the world. So please do some research before you comment.
Pakhawaj
It's similar but this is not pakhawaj, it's Mridangam.
