Frame drum (tib. nga). Tibetan nga drums are double-shelled round drums that are hung on an extra stand or have a wooden handle for carrying or standing on. They are beaten on many occasions - with one or two mallets - and are an integral part of the monk's orchestra. They are used in processions as well as in religious rituals to accompany recitations, prayers and meditations.
