The two sides of the drum separated from each other by a thin neck-like structure represents the two utterly different states of existence, unmanifest and manifest. In Hinduism, especially by Shiva devotees, it is believed that beating of the Damaru by Shiva produced the very first sound i.e, AUM (nada). This first sound was made in the void of nothingness and even can be heard in deep meditaion. Shiva began his dance of creation to the rhythm of the Damaru. From his dance, the world came into being.
