Khartaal or Kartal
is an ancient instrument mainly used in devotional songs. It
has derived its name from Hindi words ‘kara’ means hand and
‘tala’ means clapping. This wooden clapper is a Ghana Vadya
which has discs or plates that produce a clinking sound when
clapped together. It falls under the class of idiophones of
self-sounding instruments that combine properties of vibrator
and resonator.
