Panche baja
The Panche baja is a set of five traditional Nepali musical instruments that are played during holy ceremonies, especially marriages. Panche bajas are usually played by the Damai and the Gaine castes in the Hindu tradition.''
The first part of the term is also transliterated pance, panchai, or pancai; the latter also as baaja.Components
The panche baja includes the jhyali, tyamko or dholak, damaha, narsiha, shehnai, and karnal. Other renderings give the ensemble as: shehnai, jhyali, dholki, tyamko, and damaha. These are very important components of panche baja. Other than that, there is not a fixed rule on how much instruments should panche baja contain.
