Panche baaja (Nepali: पञ्चे बाजा, "five musical instruments") is a set of five traditional Nepali musical instruments that are played during holy ceremonies,especially, marriages. Panche baajas are usually played by the Damai (Miji) and the Gaine; these are castes in the Hindu tradition.[1]
The first part of the term is also transliterated pance, panchai, or pancai; the latter also as baaja.
