Chajj-Sota
The chajj-sota is commonly used by giddha
dancers. Chajj means a winnowing basket and sota means a stout
stick: the chajj-sota is a rhythm instrument. Rubbing the
stick across the basket produces a rasping sound. A dancer may
carry the chajj-sota and play it as she dances, or it may be
played by the accompanists. Occasionally ghungroos, bells, are
tied to the stick to add to the effect.
