I am wondering what instrument is this? It produces a sound like sands, and the performer seems to rotate the upper part of it to make sounds.

I also find it on an Indian music instrument illustration graph but it is not labeled.

    If just shown the photo, I would say it was a cabasa. Not sure if there's an "India-specific" cabasa... – topo Reinstate Monica Nov 22 '18 at 23:39

It is a Latin Percussion (LP brand) instrument called the Afuche Cabasa. The instrument modernized the African natural gourd shaker and is used widely for its heavy-duty sound and construction.enter image description here
