Jaisalmer's Mohanlal Preserves 200-Year-Old Morchang Heritage

• 60-year-old Mohanlal from Jaisalmer crafts traditional instruments like the Morchang, keeping a 200-year-old heritage alive.
• The Morchang, a small mouth-played instrument made of wood and metal, produces 7-8 sweet, soul-stirring notes.
• Learned from his father and grandfather, Mohanlal's art is crucial for Rajasthani folk music and attracts foreign tourists.
• Shaped like a peacock's beak, the Morchang was developed by folk artists in Jaisalmer-Barmer in the 19th century.
• Played by creating vibrations with breath and manipulating tongue/lips, its sound adds unique color to folk songs and celebrations.
