Clay Mridangam – Traditional Rhythm for Sacred Kirtans
Bring the authentic rhythm of Nitai-Gaur kirtan into your spiritual practice with a Clay Mridangam, the original mridanga used in the sankirtan movement by Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and His associates. Revered for its deep spiritual history and pure sound, this percussion instrument is a symbol of devotion, surrender, and ecstatic worship.
At Vrindavan Bazaar, we offer handcrafted clay mridangams made in the sacred land of Vrindavan, specially tuned and designed for devotees who value traditional sound and style.
