Pungi is similar to Chinese Hulusi but has no metal reed and instead uses three small bamboo pipes inside the gourd called "Jeevala". The Pungi was improved to produce the Shehnai. Pungi originated in India and is usually played by the snake charmers on streets even today. The pungi is a ?ruti instrument that is used in India for snake charming. The pungi is made from a bottle gourd, which has been dried (resembling the shape of a light bulb). Two holes are made, one at the top and one at the bottom. At the top of the gourd (the large round part of the light bulb), a piece of reed or marsh plant with a 1/2 inch diameter and a length of 2 1/2 inches is stuck into the top hole. This reed or marsh plant is called the jivala and resembles a flute.
