'''Naumati Baja''' ({{Langx|ne|नौमती बाजा|lit= nine musical instruments}}) is a group of nine traditional musical instruments played in [[Nepal]] and Himalayan region of [[Sikkim]], [[Darjeeling]] and [[Assam]] during certain auspicious occasions like weddings. It includes the following musical instruments:<br />
<br />

Naumati is a more comprehensive form of the [[Pancai baja|Panchai Baaja]]. Panchai Baaja (or a band of five instruments) is traditionally played to bring good luck. There is a reference in the scriptures that Panchai Baaja was played in the [[Dvapara Yuga]] on the auspicious occasion of the Christening Ceremony of the [[Lord Krishna]]. The Panchai Baaja represents the five metals and while designing these instruments, the images of five deities viz; [[Ganesha|Ganesh]], [[Vishnu]], [[Shiva]], Goddess and the Sun were kept as the background. Later, four more instruments were added to this set of five instruments and called ''Naumati Baaja'' (nine musical instruments).<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://xnepali.net/musical-instruments-in-panche-baja-and-naumati-baja-traditional-nepali-music/|title=Musical instruments in Panche Baja and Naumati Baja – traditional Nepali music|date=2011-03-14|work=Nepali Movies, films|access-date=2018-03-02|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://music-instrument-world.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/naumati-baja.html|title=Naumati Baja|website=music-instrument-world.blogspot.co.uk|access-date=2018-03-02}}</ref><br />
