Rythmic beats of parai, thavil, dhalam along with modulating notes of kogal gave a start to the celebration of International Day of Indigenous People on the banks of Pilloor reservoir at Baralikadu near Karamadai on Monday. Residents stepped to the tunes of these traditional musical instruments which are made by themselves from raw materials available in the forest. “It takes three days to make a kogal (an instrument similar to flute). A mouthpiece made of a type of bamboo is the main part of Kogal which alone is sourced from forests in nearby Kerala,” said K. Bharathi from Baralikadu Irula settlement.More Related News
