As promised earlier, we now bring you the second part of the article, focusing on the ancient wind and percussive instruments of India. We are pleased by your positive response and feedback for the previous article and hope you enjoy this one as well. Wind Instruments of India We start our journey by exploring the most ancient wind instruments of India. Pungi/Been The Pungi, also commonly referred to as the Been, is one of the oldest wind instruments. It is predominantly played by snake charmers in India and Pakistan. Originally emerging as accompaniment to Indian folk music, it enjoys an important place in Indian art, culture and religion even in the present day. This instrument includes a mouth-blown air reservoir, which is made from dried bottle gourd. The neck is curved and at the other end, two reed or bamboo pipes are connected to one another. One of the pipes has seven holes – the player uses this to play the melody. The sound lasts as long as the player does not take pauses. The pungi, which is still a major part of Indian folk music and street shows, is also considered to be one of the ways by which one can communicate with the divine. Flute/Venu/Bansuri Flute The flute falls into the woodwind category. This is a reedless wind instrument, which produces sound from the flow of air via a small aperture.

The spaces are decade. For planners, such built environments withan organic linked to each other, forming a “system of spaces”. The way these spatial organization are usually chaotic due to obvious individual spaces are formed and most importantly, linked together; geometric irregularity which is considered as “disorder”. The is responsible for spatial configurationof the built environment. The patterns of new spatial configuration, based on the “urban socio cultural aspects in terms of the user preferences are responsible for the evolution of spatial configuration in a built rationality” of the modern planning practices, are being environment, over a period of time. Thus, the built environment and grossly applied to the existing built environments or the the social environment are two sides of the same coin and that is the developing new built environments in India; without actually “system of spaces”.The research is intended with the need of understanding its appropriateness to the Indian situations. This understanding built environments in a selected traditional urban core has a lot of physical and social implications such as of Kerala which is the cultural capital as well as a traditional temple environmental and socio‐cultural conflicts.
