Hey Guys Whatsup . I Live In Maryland not to far from the DC area, and I was really curious to know if anyone knows a way for me to get a manji? Renovating the basement in my parents house and we're planning to go folk with the theme and a manji would be absolutely PERFECT! We just don't know any way to get a manji in the US so I thought I might just ask the Btf community! If anyone knows anything about how I may be able to get one please let me know!!! Thanks

i've bought some small steel frame/nylon strap manjas in brampton, they're locally made so theyre not as good quality as punjab made manjay. theyre $50/each. manjas arent very complicated, if you wanted to you could make your own. you could reuse legs from other pieces of furniture and attach beams to them using angle brackets. the use nylon ropes or straps to complete it.

Yes, i did some research on how to make your own, doesn't seem to difficult to make one, home depot apparently shapes and cuts the wood as you would like it to be cut. only thing i see being difficult in making a manjha is the nylon ropes. also is there any website online where i can find old punjabi folk instruments? i know a place out new york but im not sure as of when im going back there yet. So far i have a extra dhol that i dont mind just setting up for the theme and a tabla and tumbi. I want to get some sarangi and etc.
