Our knowledge about the Kartaal/ Mini Cymbals/ Manjeera is from Wikipedia. As per Wikipedia, we shared this small history to let our customers know about the Kartaal/ Mini Cymbals/ Manjeera history. The taal or manjira (also spelled manjīrā or manjeera), jalra, karatala, kartal or gini is a pair of clash cymbals originating in the Indian subcontinent, which produce high-pitched percussion sounds. In addition, in its simplest form, it consists of a pair of small hand cymbals. Specifically, the word taal comes from the Sanskrit word Tālà, which literally means a clap. Moreover, musicians use it as a part of Indian music and culture in various traditional customs, for example, Bihu music and Harinaam, etc. Furthermore, it represents a type of Ghana vadya.

In particular, in Hindu religious contexts, practitioners know it as karatala (karatāla; kara "hand", "arm" and tāla "rhythm", "beat"), typically using it to accompany devotional music such as bhajan and kirtan. Additionally, Hare Krishna devotees commonly use them when performing harinam, but they are ubiquitous to all Hindu devotional music. In some cases, contexts also refer to it as karatala or kartal (pronounced as “kartel”).

Many types of Taal categorize by size, weight, and appearance. Firstly, the big size clash cymbal is called Bortaal, and it weighs approximately 1½−2 kg. Specifically, the Gayan in Assam plays Bortaal. Moreover, Bortaal symbolizes Assamese traditional culture. Next, Majutaal is a medium size clash cymbal. Furthermore, Khutitaal or Xarutaal is a small size clash cymbal. Additionally, musicians also know it as Manjira or Karatala. Typically, performers use it in traditional, folk, and classical music in India. For instance, dancers also use it in Bharat Natyam, Kuchipudi, Manipuri, Mohiniattam, Andhra Natyam, and Kathakali. This provides a basic history of the instrument.
