Do you know? “Madhura Mridanga” based on the principle of Cow protection (no leather used) is now ready? It is durable (with a half-life of 20 years! and we are giving 3 years guarantee!); tunable in minutes to any tones and semitones; weather-proof; and lightweight! We are in the SOFT LAUNCH mode now…
It is almost a decade long dream for a good alternative since the article “Our Sankirtana-Tainted with Blood of Slaughter” was written and published by Sri Bharat Chandra Dasa. The struggle and perseverance has now paid. The sound quality achieved is supreb equivalent to the leather mridanga! The research and development of this product was possible by joint venture between Centre for Traditional Education, Tamaltree and Sri Varadaranganji of Karunya Musicals.
