In Tibetan Buddhism, the Damaru is used as an instrument in meditation practices.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the Damaru is part of a collection of sacred implements and musical instruments. This Damaru was adopted from the tantric practices of ancient India.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDamaru of all kinds is traditionally paired with a long sash or tail called a chöpen. The chöpen is attached to the end of the drum's handle so that it waves about while the drum is being played. They are most commonly made of brocade or silk using the colors of tantric elements.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPRODUCT DESCRIPTION :\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n1.
