Santali Music - Indian Tribal Community
The Indian Tribal Santal community's life is deeply intertwined with music and dance, which accompany every social and cultural event. They use various musical instruments, either crafted by themselves or bought locally. Key instruments include the Tiriaw (flute), Banam, Tamak, and Tumdah. A Santhali tribal musician sings a song and plays an indigenous instrument resembling a violin, known as the ''Phet Banam'', near Bamniphals at Ajodhya Hill in Purulia, West Bengal, India, on January 11, 2026.
