Dhyangro

Dhyangro is a traditional percussion instrument that is commonly used in Nepali folk music. It is a two-headed drum that is played by hand, with one hand striking the larger head (called the "bass head") and the other hand stroking the smaller head (called the "treble head").

The Dhyangro is typically made of wood, with the two heads made of the animal hide (such as goat or buffalo skin) that are stretched over the top and bottom of the drum. The body of the drum is hollow, and it is often decorated with colorful patterns or designs.

In Nepali folk music, the Dhyangro is often played alongside other instruments such as the madal (another type of drum), the sarangi (a stringed instrument), and various wind instruments like the bansuri (flute). It is used to provide a rhythmic backbone for the music, often playing simple patterns or grooves that complement the melody and other instruments.

The Dhyangro is an important part of Nepali culture and is often played during festivals, weddings, and other celebrations. It requires skill and practice to play, and many musicians specialize in playing the Dhyangro as part of a larger ensemble.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.

Applied with pure gold leaf and fused using fire gilding for an ethereal sheen that endures for generations.
