Panche Baja (literally – five musical instruments) is a group of five traditional musical instruments played in Nepal during certain auspicious occasions like marriages. A small band of five people (traditionally, called Damahi) can form the musical band to perform in such occasions. The five instruments are: Dholaki (Two sided drum, similar to Madal) Tyamko (small kettle drum) Damaha or Nagara (kettle drum) Sahanai (a short pipe instrument) and Jhurma or jhyali (cymbals)
