Lāmā Mvāhlĩ: This extremely rare instrument, made entirely of brass, is one of only six examples that were made as part of the cult for the tantric goddess Bhairavi, who resides in Nuwakot. The village is a two-day hike north-west of Kathmandu. The Jugi musicians performed at the annual Bhairavī-jatra procession. The instrument has a slightly curved body and eight frontal tone holes.
