Jodia Pawa is a pair of two flutes of the same size and length remains about 20 to 22 inches generally played together keeping both the flute in the mouth, One is called Nar- the male and the other is called Madi or Mali – the female.
Nar has eight equi-distant holes for maintaining a drone or Sur. The Madi weaves the melody on this base over twelve holes on top on which fingers move. Of the twelve holes of the Madi, only the upper six are used functionally to manipulate music while the lower six are left open and free.
It has a significant role in the rich cultural heritage of Kachchh.
