The kanjira's emergence in South Indian Carnatic music, as well as the development of the modern form of the instrument, is credited to Manpoondia Pillai. In the 1880s, Manpoondia Pillai was a temple lantern-bearer who sought to study drumming. He modified it to a frame drum with a single pair of jingles and brought the instrument to a classical stage.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/friday-review/The-sound-challenge/article13999469.ece|title=The sound challenge|first=B.|last=Kolappan|date=14 January 2016|access-date=19 April 2021|website=Thehindu.com}}</ref><ref name="KasturiMadhavan2007">{{cite book|author1=Prema Kasturi|author2=Chithra Madhavan|title=South India heritage: an introduction|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_HwMAQAAMAAJ|year=2007|publisher=East West Books (Madras)|isbn=978-81-88661-64-0|page=593}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nscottrobinson.com/southindiaperc.php |title=World Music and Percussion, Frame Drums, Riq, Tambourines |website=Nscottrobinson.com |access-date=2015-03-24}}</ref> | |||
