This drum is referred to by many names among which are the Ruhunu Bera, Devol Bera and Ghoskaya. This drum normally accompanies the dancers from the low country, especially the mask dancing connected with rituals and the folk play Kolam.
The drum is turned out of wood taken from the Kohomba (Margosa), Ehela (Golden Shower), Kitul (Fishtail Palm) or Milla trees. This is a cylindrical drum, fairly long and is played on both sides with hands. The openings on the two sides of the drum are covered with the stomach lining of a cow. The strings used to tighten the sides are from cattle skin
