    The materials required to make a jaltarang include five sturdy bowls, a can of water and two wooden sticks or pencils. The bowls should be placed on a stable surface and filled with varying amounts of water. The pitch changes based on the water level—more water creates a lower pitch and less water produces a higher pitch. By gently striking the rims of the bowls with sticks or pencils, a melodious tune can be created, demonstrating basic musical principles.

    In a jaltarang, the amount of water in each bowl directly affects its pitch. A bowl with more water produces a lower-pitched sound, while one with less water generates a higher pitch. This principle follows the concept of vibration frequency—water volume influences the sound waves produced when the rim is struck. By adjusting the water levels in different bowls, musicians can create a full range of musical notes, allowing them to play melodies and scales effectively.
