Hand Percussion

Shop handcrafted manjira hand cymbals in brass and bronze, plus sheesham wood khartal clappers for kirtan, bhajan, aarti and folk rhythm. These portable instruments are handcrafted in India and shipped worldwide.

Hand percussion keeps rhythm close at hand in kirtan, bhajan, aarti and folk music. Our manjira are handcrafted hand cymbals in 4-inch brass and 3.25-inch bronze, each pair with cotton holding cords. The sheesham wood khartal (also called kartal or khadtal) is a pair of wooden clappers with inset metal jingles for lively, portable rhythm.

All of these are small enough to pack in a bag, so they are easy to bring to a satsang, class or group practice. They are handcrafted in India and shipped worldwide.
