&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Aravana muttu&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; or &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;arabana muttu&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; is an art form prevalent among Muslims in [[Kerala]] state of south India, named after the aravana, a hand-held, one-sided flat [[tambourine]] or drumlike musical instrument, derived from Arabia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/581888/tambourine  &amp;quot;Tambourine&amp;quot;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Encyclopædia Britannica.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;  The origins of the instrument are lost in prehistoric antiquity.]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   It is made of wood and animal skin, similar to the [[Indian musical instruments|duff]] but a little thinner and bigger.  In the opinion of Becker Edakkazhiyur, a noted arabana musician, &amp;quot;the ritualistic performance of `Arabana Reefa Ee Raathib Muttu&amp;#039; has been mistaken for `Arabana Kali Muttu,&amp;#039; which is purely for entertainment. While the former is almost extinct, the latter, known for its aesthetic appeal, is the one presented nowadays.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20100117005912/http://www.hindu.com/fr/2006/03/24/stories/2006032400980300.htm  G. S. Paul, &amp;quot;The sultan of Arabana Muttu&amp;quot; (Becker Edakkazhiyur), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;The Hindu&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (24 March 2006)]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The arabana muttu, which is performed to welcome dignitaries, is a more difficult art than the duff muttu.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|title=Duff Muttu and Arabana Muttu - popular Muslim artsforms of Kerala|url=http://www.keralatourism.org/kerala-article/220/duffmuttu-arabana-muttu.php|access-date=20 December 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120415161452/http://www.keralatourism.org/kerala-article/220/duffmuttu-arabana-muttu.php|archive-date=15 April 2012|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; There are traditional and modern methods of playing the aravana. Traditionally, with participants sitting in a semicircle, the leader of the group will start singing.  When the initial song is over, the players will start to play following the song of the leader and beating on the aravana musically; others will beat in the same way by giving chorus to the song.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though the duff and Aravana are two different types of arts, the word duff is used interchangeably for Aravana, because the duff is more familiar than the Aravana.  This art is nowadays the basis for competitions in Kerala.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20121110041540/http://www.hindu.com/2008/12/19/stories/2008121954900300.htm  &amp;quot;Winning note&amp;quot;, &amp;#039;&amp;#039;The Hindu,&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (19 December 2008)]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
