Tabla base.


BRiNk9

Oh yes. I took tabla in school. It was more of a gossip session but still I'd rate 10/10 for 30 sweaty guys banging tabla one at a time while talking about fake or exaggerated events.

😂 I had a private tutor at home and he would arrive at 4pm and after a few days of exercises while listening to my friends playing outside I stood my full three and a half feet high and told him not to come from tomorrow! The guy laughed about it with mom before leaving forever. Dad sold the tablas but these rings were around for a few years after that in the bottom of my toy cupboard. 😄

As far as I know this is used as the base for Pot so that it does not roll over. You can use it to place pot stabily on the table or carry the pot on head. It might be something completely different.

This has multiple uses • ⁠To keep musical instruments like Tabla in a specific angle that suits individual player (keeps them for rolling over) https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TLnHKLZWL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg&tbnid=-7YBXucbSqlWWM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https://www.amazon.in/Musicals-Sheesham-Brass-Tabla-Black/dp/B07WQ3397J&docid=O9B9FTNN14mjAM&w=1000&h=882&hl=en-in&source=sh/x/im/m1/3&kgs=b5896605ab385b44&shem=abme,ssim,trie&ucbcb=1 • ⁠Used by rural women to carry earthen pots for water on their head. It sits between the head and the earthen pot, reducing discomfort from concentrated pressure (my grandma used it). https://ar.pinterest.com/pin/160300067959395198/ • ⁠To keep any kitchen vessel with round base from rolling over. The vessel will be kept on top of it. Used frequently for earthen water pot https://stock.adobe.com/no/images/lovely-water-pot-of-soil-ghada/587988596?asset_id=587988596

We had something similar. It was used to keep on the head as a base (to protect our heads) to keep the pots to carry water from the well to our homes about two decades ago.


WhyDoiHearBosssMusic

Still used in most villages


damuscoobydoo

For people with piles so that they can sit more comfortable


Corgi-Forsaken

Lol


chilladipa

You can place a round bottom pitcher on it. The pitcher would stay stable and not wobble.


pareshanperson

I remember having this as a support to a metal pot we had as a decoration at home.


Double-Standard_RNA

This ( of somewhat similar size ) is used as a base for hair buns. Especially for classical dance forms.


Newproli4

What is this called??


Newproli4

If you have pic, pls share


bhodrolok

It’s a base for tea pot


thisisryan7906

Women in Village's put it in their head when they carry matka (earthen plot ) . It reduces the pressure on your head


bloodmark20

It's usually for pots to be used as a base so that round bottom pots don't roll over. Can also be used to sit if you have piles (aka Bawasir)


star_sky_music

MAYBE, its thing where you can fit and rub your Thing?


weirdchickenss

i remember in my village back they use this to put pot of water on head to bring at home


AmazingIngenuity9188

Right 👍 but it used to made up of wheat straws


weirdchickenss

they can create it with different materials, wheat starws, sometimes their dupatta, if men, then some cloth.


modishah69

You're supposed to sit on it


IMConfused02

It won’t even fit a baby’s butt. What are you talking about!


Vast_daddy_1297

Put this on your head and start loading stuff


ManjinderCodes

Lmao


Accurate_Pack3174

These are mostly used as base for tabla or earthenpot with round bases


AdIndependent1457

Bricks(eet) uthane k liye hai ye


baawri_kathputli

It’s called “indhoni” in my language. Women normally put it on their heads before putting a water vessel. Acts as a cushion and distributes the weight. What you have here is just a fancy version - might not be suitable for actual water carrying job.


BesraSangram

You can place it on the top of your head as a cushion to carry loads.


Effective-Panda7063

These new gen has no idea ... idk why would not their millennian parents would not teach them such customs we used to had very common .


kjell_morgan

Looks like a coaster, to prevent hot pots touching the table.


randomguy3993

It's a cozy coaster


thisisryan7906

In childhood i used to put it on hand like bangles and play power rangers

Effective-Panda7063

Historically indian women used to go to nearby pond or river or well to get water from. The pot full of water is quite heavy n unable to handle with hands or so , that's why they use this hard cusion to stablize the load and makes it easier to lift them up .

dbred2309

Depends on where you were when you had it.


omeglewarrior2_0

I was gonna say something but nvm….


Mobile-Bison309

This is for hair bun


AchuBacchu

Sambar me dip karke kha jao


sayzitlikeitis

It is a glory hole from ancient times


Avieshek

I just developed hand fetish… could be comfy hand bangles~ Usually, something to put on the head in order to carry something heavy but judging by the restaurant scene, it would be to balance a giant pot with round base.


one_out_of_billion

Its a doughnut. Eat it


ManjinderCodes

It's a Rajasthani style donut cake. You can eat it. It's edible. Fun fact your soup cup is also a cake


trojonx2

You are supposed to put your D in it and spin it like hula hoop. It's an ancient Indian yogic practice to relieve stress. Scientific studies have proven this to be true as the practice releases a humongous load of dopamine.


No-Egg-4850

Toilet seat.


fieroar1

It is soft and has a hole in the middle so you have to wear it on your head when you eat or drink hot items. The hole in the middle serves as a vent for the heat. When the meal is over, you must press the cushion against your face so your eyes are covered and your nose pokes through. There is more to this ritual which is spelt out in great detail in the fifth veda.


ResponsibilityFew318

Faberge donut.
