Chimta is also used while singing kirtans and bhajans in temples or congregations. The chimta is played along with the dholak and at weddings, it is paired with the dhol. It accompanies the Bhangra dancers and is also a part of Punjabi folk music.
The tradition of playing the chimta for hymns can be traced back to the Jogis or the Naths. The instrument, also known as ‘tambourine sword’ and ‘fire tong,’ is played during the Gugga dance, as part of worship of Gugga or Gogaji in Haryana, Punjab, Uttarkhand, Himachal, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.
