Symbolism of the ritual drum: In Buddhist philosophy, sound is considered a symbol of emptiness, shunyata.

The shape of the damaru has its roots in ancient India—where one side of the drum is considered to represent the masculine energy of method and the other the feminine energy of wisdom. The two sides of the drum together also represent relative and ultimate Bodhicitta, the spirit of enlightenment.

In the Tantric Buddhist ritual Chod, the drum instructs and reminds us of impermanence as the sound summons female deities called Dakinis.

Another interpretation of the sound suggests that the drum represents the powers of the rhythm of the heartbeat.

In Hinduism, especially among devotees of Shiva, it is believed that Shiva's beating of a ritual drum produced the very first sound (nada). This first sound was made in the void of nothingness. Shiva began his dance of creation to the rhythm of the drum. From his dance, the world was born.
