An Audiophone instrument, it is made of a small bamboo spike about 3 feet long to be grasped with the hand. Small calibres are cut at half inch intervals. It is dragged across a cowrie shell holding in the left-hand palm to emit musical sound in accompaniment with devotional songs. In the Hajong tribe the cowrie is substituted with entada (Ghila).
