The '''Panchamukha Vadyam''' (([[Malayalam]]: പഞ്ചമുഖ വാദ്യം, [[Telugu language|Telugu]]: పంచముఖ వాద్యం), [[Tamil language|Tamil]]: பஞ்சமுக வாத்தியம்) is a [[drum]] from [[India]]. It is a metal drum with five [[face]]s (mukha), named after the faces of [[Shiva|Siva]]: Sadyojatam, Isanam, Tatpurusham, Aghoram and Vamadevam. The diameter of the central face is at a slightly larger than those of the peripheral faces. The instrument is played with both hands.<ref>http://www.chennaimuseum.org/draft/gallery/02/01/musinst.htm</ref> The pitch of the faces is adjusted by tightening or loosening the squeeze of the skin at the region of the neck and below the rim. It is used in temple music.<br />
