For uses of Jori, see Jori (disambiguation).
In its construction, the Jori is similar to the Tabla. The key differences being the use of a larger dayan/chathoo (also known as Poorra) (treble drum), and a wooden barrel-shaped bayan/dagga (bass drum) with atta (dough) instead of the syahi/gub, which is called a "Dhamma" .[4]
