The Jalatarang (literally waterwaves) is mentioned in the 17th Century text Sangeet Parijata and even earlier as ‘Udaka Vadya’ in Vatsyayan’s Kamasutra. The skill to play this instrument was considered to be among the essential 64 arts to be learn by a woman. Alexander the Great is said to have taken Jalatarang players back to Macedonia around 325 BCE. The Jalatarang consists of china bowls of varying sizes filled with water to produce the twelve notes of the scale by striking the rims with bamboo sticks. The tuning is achieved by adjusting the water level in each bowl. The sound produced has a melodious and tinkling quality.
