Experience the Rhythmic Magic of Nagada with Mannat Band in Chandigarh

The Nagada, also known as Nagara, is a beautifully crafted drum with a round back and a hide head, typically played in pairs. Classified as a membranophone, specifically a kettle drum, it has deep cultural roots in Indian music. The terms naqqarah, naqqarat, nagoranakkare, and naqqåre originate from the Arabic verb naqr, meaning “to strike or beat.”
In India, naqqara is commonly referred to as nagara or nagada, and it is often paired with kettledrums, historically featured in the naubat, an ensemble of nine traditional instruments.
The Nagara can be played with sticks, and today it frequently accompanies the shehnai, the Indian oboe, which is an essential instrument for any Indian wedding. At Mannat Band, we take pride in our talented Nagada players, who promise a breathtaking performance that will elevate the festive spirit of your wedding.
Let Mannat Band bring the rhythmic magic of the Nagada to your celebration, making your special day even more memorable!
