The pakhawaja is a two-headed barrel-shaped drum used widely in Indian classical music. It has a low, rich tone produced by its bass and treble skins, which are played by the left and right hands respectively. The bass skin is smeared with wet wheat dough to enhance its vibrant sound. It is the standard percussion instrument used to accompany the dhrupad style of vocal music as well as other musical and dance performances.
