Handmade items, so colours and details may differ a little from the photo.

The damaru is the small two-headed drum carried by Lord Shiva — pinched at the waist, with a knotted cord and a beaded striker on each side. Twist it from the wrist and the beads swing round to strike the skins, giving the quick rolling rattle heard in aarti and bhajan.

Turned wood painted in the traditional red, yellow and green bands, laced with cotton cord over natural skin heads. Five sizes, from a 7 inch child's damaru up to the 15 inch that carries properly across a room.

Good for

  • Shiv pooja and Maha Shivratri
  • Bhajan and kirtan
  • Temple and home aarti

Sizes

  • XSmall — 7 x 6 inch — the pocket size, light enough for small hands, and the one children reach for first.
  • Small — 8 x 7 inch — a step up in tone while still very easy to twist.
  • Medium — 10 x 8 inch — the everyday choice for home aarti.
  • Large — 12 x 9 inch — deeper and louder, suited to group bhajan.
  • XLarge — 15 x 11 inch — the fullest sound, and a striking piece beside a Shiva murti even when it isn't being played.

Key features

  • Traditional turned wood, hand-painted in red, yellow and green
  • Natural skin heads laced with cotton cord
  • Two beaded strikers on a knotted cord
  • For Shiva pooja, aarti, bhajan and kirtan
  • Hand-made, so the painted bands and skin tone vary a little piece to piece

About our handmade products

Most of what we sell is made by hand in India: our murtis, mandirs, pooja items, sarees and clothing. Because each piece is made by hand, no two are exactly the same. The carving, painting, pattern, stitching or finish may differ a little from the photo. Wood grain and marble markings are natural and vary from piece to piece.

Colours can also look slightly different on each phone or laptop screen, and sizes are approximate.

If you need an exact colour, size or pattern, please message us on WhatsApp with a photo, or visit our shops on Ealing Road, Wembley, to see the item before you buy.
