The Making of the Mridangam - A Documentary Film

A humble presentation of the process of making the mridangam, an ancient instrument used in South Indian Classical Carnatic music. The documentary film covers the processes of making the wooden shell at Panruti, Tamil Nadu and the attachment of the drum heads to finish making the mridangam. There is also a small segment about the usage of a synthetic alternative in the material of the drum head and related innovations, beautifully explained by Sri Ramkumar R, mridangam artiste.
