Pandit Mohan Shyam Sharma Plays A Pakhawaj Composition

Panchdev Stuti is an ancient composition common to Nathdwara, Kudau Singh, Nana Panse traditions of pakhawaj.

The pakhawaj, said to have been invented by the Hindu god Shiva, is an ancient Indian two headed
barrel shaped percussion instrument. It is played with fresh kneed dough applied to the left side of the
drum that gives it its characteristic deep resonant sound. Although its been eclipsed by the two drum tabla
in folk and khayal forms of Indian classical music, a pakhawaj is exclusively used for rhythmic accompaniment in the dhrupad tradition.
