Khuang: The Heartbeat of Mizo Culture and Tradition

Khuang (Drum) is a Mizo indigenous instrument which occupies a very sig­nificant place in Mizo social and religious life. Khuang is a must on all occasions. It is made of a hollow tree, wrapped on both sides with animal skin. The Mizo gives different names according to its size and length. The big-sized one is called Khuangpui (Big drum), the middle one is called Khuanglai, and the small-sized one is Khuangte (little drum). If it is longish, they called it Kawlkhuang.
