==== Jori ==== Another Sikh instrument is the [[Jori (instrument)|Jori]]. The word jori means pair and the jori is a pair of two drums. The musician playing the jori will use one hand per drum whilst playing the instrument. The instrument was created during the time of the fifth Sikh Guru, [[Guru Arjan|Guru Arjun Dev Ji]]. Originally, one of the most popular drums used in South Asia in the 16th century was the Mardang. The Mardang was a singular drum with two sides played simultaneously. In the court of Guru Arjun Dev Ji there were two musicians, Sata and Balwand, who decided to create a new instrument by splitting the Mardang in half. This created two separate drums that would be played simultaneously and would be able to be tuned individually.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Jori {{!}} Discover Sikhism |url=http://www.discoversikhism.com/sikh_saaj/jori.html |access-date=2022-05-04 |website=www.discoversikhism.com |archive-date=2022-01-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220127231510/http://www.discoversikhism.com/sikh_saaj/jori.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
