Khartal Varanasi Shakers is an ancient instrument from India, traditionally used in devotional and folk songs. The blocks are shaped slightly differently so that they can be used in one hand with the 'male' block held with the thumb while the 'female' is mainly balanced on the ring finger they can be shaken like a tambourine or jingle and clapped together at high speeds to make rapid complex rhythms. This solid Sheesham Khartal Varanasi Shakers wood instrument has a thin metal plate to create a louder clapping noise when the two blocks are hit together.
