The karnal (Nepali:कर्नाल) is a large, straight brass trumpet, over a metre long, played in parts of Northern India and Nepal. It has a prominent bell resembling a datura flower.[1] It is used on ceremonial occasions, such as the processions of village deities.[2] It is often included among the five instruments of the Nepali pancai baja ensemble.
