A wooden drum (bedug) with cowhide is struck in mosques to signal prayer times. It symbolizes Islamic tradition

A traditional wooden drum, known as a bedug, rests on an ornately decorated stand. Featuring a natural cowhide surface, it is positioned in a mosque's open veranda, surrounded by yellow walls and arched openings. The drum is cylindrical, with a smooth wooden texture and is held in place with green fastenings. This instrument is integral to Indonesian Islamic tradition, often used to announce prayer times. The background includes lush greenery, visible through the arches.
