The '''dollu''' is a double-headed drum native to [[Karnataka]], [[India]]{{Citation Needed|date=July 2018}}. It is classified as a [[membranophone]]. The heads are made of [[sheep]] or [[goat]] skin and the frame is made of honne or [[mango]] tree wood. The instrument is used mostly in theatrical dances with religious or mythological themes. It is carried by means of a belt or harness and struck with the hand or a short stick. It is loud, low pitched and not particularly tonal.

== Origins ==
Hindu mythology traces the origin of the Dollu to the divine couple [[Shiva]] and [[Parvathi]]{{Citation Needed|date=July 2018}}. To pass time, Shiva and Parvathi played games and laid a bet. Whichever one of them lost the bet was to leave [[Mount Kailash|Kailasa]] to live anonymously on Bhuloka ([[Earth]]). [[Shiva]] lost the bet and moved into a cave, taking the form of a [[Rock (geology)|stone]]. Mayamurthi, Shiva's ardent loyalist, guarded the [[cave]]. Over time Parvathi became fed up of managing the universe and decided to send [[Vayu]] in search of Shiva, but it was in vain. [[Narada]] located the cave, killed Mayamurthi and forced 'Shiva' to return to Kailasa. [[Shiva]], unwilling to leave behind the dead body of his trusted and beloved guard, made a Dollu out of the dead body and carried it to Kailasa. For the reasons of its origins, the Dollu is a popular instrument among [[Shaivism|Shaivites]].
