As a part of the village festival these musicians are playing an instrument called Chenda. Chenda is cylindrical percussion instrument used widely in Kerala. There are different ways of playing a chenda,made out of a cylindrical wooden drum,and has a length of two feet and a diameter of one foot.Both ends are covered with animals skin. The chenda is suspended from the drummers neck so that it hangs vertically,using two sticks the drummer strikes the upper parchment. This instrument is famous for its loud and rigid sound. chenda is an unavoidable musical instrument in all form of cultural activities in Kerala.(courtesy)

Nice interesting scene with the drummers (Maranmar) beating it out.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Very interesting scene, Sayed, accompanied by a ditto narrative.
Because the sound is loud and rigid, I'm to a certain extent glad that I can't hear them, lol.

Try to change what you can't accept, but accept what you can't change. Please CLICK HERE to see my journal! Feel free to save my images or to add them to your favorites.
Looking at the smiles on the drummers faces it easy to see their enjoying themselves. A good photograph, and a wonderful informative narrative, thanks Sayed. (o:
