Manipuri folk plays Pena (Manipuri musical instrument) during Sangai Festival in Manipur. • Pena (a.k.a Bana, Bena, or Tingtelia) is a bowed lute found in North East India and Bangladesh. It is used in folk music as well as the accompaniment of the Manipuri dance styles. It is part of a culture of bowed instruments which extends throughout north India. As such, the pena is remarkably similar to the ravanhasta found in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan, and the ubo found in Manipur and Nagaland, or the kenda found among the Munda (Mundari) of Northern India and Bangladesh. • The subject of terminology is always problematic when dealing with Indian music. In this page, some terms will be from Manipuri while others may reflect a rustic Bengali dialect. However, we cannot even begin to fathom the various alternative terminology that may be found in the different tribal communities of North East India and Bangladesh. These considerations should be kept in mind. • There is a considerable variation in the name of this instrument. In Manipur, it is usually known as pena, but the Nagas often refer to this as tingtalia. In Bangladesh it is known as bana or bena. It is possible that this instrument may be linked to the pinaki vina, mentioned in numerous ancient texts. However, there is the strong likelihood that bana or bena is merely a corruption of the Bengali term bina, which in turn is a corruption of the Sanskrit word vina. The names of this instrument imply a certain generic quality; this is indicated by the fact that the be-ana of West Bengal is of a different construction, yet still played with a bow. • The social significance of this instrument is varied. In Manipur, the pena has a rich tradition. At one time, this instrument was played in royal courts and was considered part of the high culture of the region. Today, it is usually associated with folk music and the traditional Manipuri dance. It is still occasionally used for funerals and weddings. The bana of Bangladesh is used in folk music, and is found in folk theatre. • Source: http://chandrakantha.com/articles/ind... • This footage is part of the professionally-shot broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest collection of HD imagery from South Asia.
