References to musical instruments are found in ancient Indian texts like the Vedas, Epics, and the Natyashastra. Identifying which ones are historically documented as ancient is key.
Information Booster:
· Pushkar (A) is a general term for a class of drums mentioned in ancient texts like the Natyashastra.
· It often refers to drums with two faces (like the modern Pakhawaj/Mridangam family).
· Bhumi Dundubhi (D) is an ancient earth drum literally described as a pit in the ground covered with hide, mentioned in Vedic and epic literature.
Additional Knowledge:
· Jhallari (B) is a type of cymbal, and Kinnari (C) is a string instrument (a type of veena).
· While they may have historical roots, they are not primarily classified as ancient "percussion instruments" in the same canonical list as Pushkar and Bhumi Dundubhi.
