About This Item
This is a big Varaha Fiberglass Mrdanga drum in red colour.
The Tilak Mridanga comes in red, yellow, blue, black and white, in large style;
and red, yellow and blue in small style.
Each Mridanga is made from hardwearing fiberglass and is built to last. On the body of each is the famous "Tilak" symbol that distinguishes the Vaishnava. The included tuning key is comfortably situated in a Velcro sealed pouch in the strap.
For those who don't know what a "Balarama Mridanga" is, it's a fiberglass and rubber version of the Bengali mridanga used in ISKCON temples worldwide. The sound is very similar to the clay mridanga (but louder), and they are nearly indestructible.
After years of research and development a new fiberglass mridanga had been produced to replace the now unavailable famous Balarama fiberglass mridanga.
The Balarama mrdanga was first produced at New Dwarka, ISKCON Los Angeles to solve a big problem with the clay mrdangas from India. The clay mridangas are very fragile. A slight impact will cause them to break. To avoid this problem the fiberglass "Balarama Mrdanga" had been invented.
By improving the production methods both the quality of the Mrdangas significantly has been improved as well as the price has been reduced in comparison to the early "Balarama Mrdanga"
