The chengila is a percussion instrument that maintains a steady beat and provides musical background. The thick bell metal disc, which hangs by a strap looped around one wrist, is struck by a short wand held in the other hand. A ringing sound is produced when the chengila is struck when hanging freely; a flat tone is produced when it is struck while held against the forearm. [1]
Cultural Importance
In Kerala, a state in south-west India, the chengila is used in many different traditional art forms [2] including Chemmanakali, Kathakali, and Krishnanattam.[3]
