Vintage Mridangam Double-Sided Indian Drum – Carnatic Percussion / Studio & Home Décor

A vintage Mridangam, the traditional double-sided drum of South India, also widely used in Hare Krishna devotional music. Handcrafted from wood with rope-tensioned hide drumheads, it produces resonant bass on one side and crisp treble on the other, making it central to Carnatic performances, bhajans, and kirtan gatherings. This example remains structurally sound and playable, with cosmetic wear consistent with age, as shown in the photos. Beyond its musical role, the Mridangam also makes a striking decorative piece. It would look fantastic displayed in a music studio, creative workspace, or even as a conversation feature in a man cave. Increasingly hard to source outside India, this is a rare opportunity for collectors, musicians, or anyone seeking unique décor with cultural resonance. Fast dispatch 🚚 from the UK.
