=======================================
The Glong Puja is the sacred drum set that is found in most temples in northern Thailand where it is used for worship.
The set of Glong Puja consists of four drums of different sizes.
The four drums must be made from the same tree. The largest is called
Glong Mae, which means mother drum. The three smaller drums are called Look toob, which means the sound of the offspring drums. The diameter of Glong Mae can be as wide as 1 meter.
When it is struck, it produces a sound that can be heard over long distances.
Glong Puja sets that can be seen today are more than 100 years old. Less old sets are believed to be at least several decades. The Glong Puja is played with gongs and cymbals that mark the pulse.
Glong Puja must be played with reverence. It is forbidden to strike the drums frivolously, and, as with other Thai instruments, the player must demonstrate respect to the teacher. This is done through the Wai Kru ritual before playing commences as well as whilst performing.
The Glong Puja is played on various occasions. It is performed on the occasion of the full moon days, which are important in the Buddhist calendar, to inform Buddhist villagers when they should purify their bodies, words, and minds, to prepare offerings for monks, to attend temples to hear sermons, and to observe religious precepts.
The Glong Puja is also played to celebrate merit-making done by community members and community celebrations.
