The Manjira is a traditional percussion instrument of India. The manjira, in its simplest form, is a pair of small hand cymbals.

The Manjira is used in various religious ceremonies of India, especially bhajans - devotional songs dedicated to some Indian god or goddess.

The manjira can also consist of a wooden frame with two long straight handles that connect to each other with two short wooden handles; the open space between the long handles has a wooden separator that separates two rows of three (total of six) brass jingles.
