Naqara Baja - In Hell!


A naqara was an especially large drum that was used by the Mongol in battle. The drum itself was so large it was necessary to have it carried in to battle by a beast of burden, traditionally a camel. Its main use was as a signaling device, to let warriors know when an attack, especially a surprise attack, begin.

Today of course bollywood can use it to entertain people without forgetting its actual purpose.
