| | This fact has been noted by Chauhan [ 23 ] who studied folk music in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. | | | It also explains the use of the drums and oboes in temple ensembles even in regions which were not much influenced by Islam, such as Kinnaur in the Himalayas, and the prevalence of the sur-näl / sahnäï/mohorï among dom castes in such remote and widely separated regions as Kinnaur and interior Orissa. | | | This identification explains the use of the related terms horana and davula in the Pali literature of Sri Lanka, and the existence of the oboe in Sri Lanka and Indonesia before contact with Islam. |
