DESCRIPTION

Musician with Ghatam - Art by Tirthankar Biswas

Oil Painting on Canvas (In this semi-realistic oil painting, a musician is playing a Ghatam)

What is Ghatam?

Ghatam is a hollow spherical clay pot with a narrow mouth, used as a drumming instrument to play a musical sound. It is also called Matka or Ghada in different places in India and is mostly played in folk songs by hands, palms, fingers, or nails to produce numerous pitches and levels of sound, in a harmonious manner. This is made of a special kind of clay sometimes the maker adds metal or graphite dust for the special sound and the blue-grey appearance.

According to Hindu mythology, it is believed this instrument was first used around 500 CE which has been described by Sage Valmiki in the ancient Puran* Ramayana.

*Puran is an ancient book on stories of the Hindu Gods written in Sanskrit
