    👉 The Mridangam and the Pakhawaj are considered the direct predecessors of the tabla.

    The Tabla is believed to have emerged in the 13th century or later, likely when the Pakhawaj (inspired by the Mridangam) was split into two distinct drums to meet the needs of Indo-Persian music.

    The Dholak, simpler and more popular, represents a parallel folk version of the same double skin principle.
