What is sembi?

Sembi is a traditional South Indian percussion instrument, primarily used in temple festivals and folk music. It is a double-headed drum, similar in construction to the thavil, but generally smaller and producing a higher-pitched sound. Sembi is played using sticks or hands, depending on the style and region. It provides rhythmic accompaniment to various art forms like folk dances and religious processions. The instrument's sound is considered auspicious and adds vibrancy to the celebrations. The sembi is an integral part of the cultural heritage of regions within Tamil Nadu and other South Indian states.
