RAGGOIDANG in Odisha
Material: Bamboo
The Raggoidang is a musical instrument belonging to the Saora tribe of Odisha. Striking a stick on a piece of bamboo that has grooves engraved on it makes a raggoi raggoi sound and hence the name of the instrument. The Raggoidang takes a long time to make as the making of the etchings is quite laborious.
