Buang

The Buang (also called bhuang) is a primitive Santal drone instrument. Buang is an onomatopoeic term in consonance with the deep booming sound the instrument emits.  The Buang is exclusively associated with the Dasae (Dnasae) festival of the Santals, which coincides with the Durga Puja of the Bengalis, in the month of Ashwin (September-October) – the month known as Dasae by the Santals.
