The Kartal Synopsis
The kartal (or khartal) is a traditional Indian instrument made of two wooden blocks or frames with small metal jingles mounted in them. The name derives from the Hindi words 'kara' (hand) and 'tala' (clapping). The percussive sounds provide rhythmic support to Indian folk music or spiritual songs and dance.
