There is a rare instrument known ar Pañcamugam with five faces with deer and other skins fitted to a bronze egg shaped vessel. This type of instrument was known 2300 years ago. In the Pañcamuga Vādyam, the five heads are tuned to five different notes and with the two kuḍa muzha (pot drums) one on either side, the compass of the instrument will complete the sapta svaras.
