Description and performance of a traditional instrument

Pumsu is the current logo of the Mising Cultural Association of Assam. Éjuk tapum is believed to be the oldest musical instrument of the Mising community. Before migrating to the plains, the Misings resided in the hills, and they believed that Karki Mili was the first person to play the éjuk tapum. It was originally made from bottle gourds and bamboo. This particular bottle gourd used to make the instrument is poisonous and people are forbidden to consume them. These bottle gourds can be found only in the hills.
