600 dollar for madhura mridanaga is too much I guess here in India they sell it for 120 dollars

As a beginner, like myself, I would say that unless you know how to tune a clay drum, or know someone who can, then get a Madhura mrdanga.
I've had several clay drums and tbh, they are mass produced and often not great quality now (badly tuned, cheap leather, thin gab applied), and they will will very quickly sound nothing like drum you bought.
I have to drive two and half hours to find someone to tune it, and it will quickly go again.
If you have no one to tune, it's very very difficult to do yourself well and you can often damage it along way.
If you can't do that yourself or dont know someone, you can end up paying a lot to tune or repair gab , leather straps etc.
Plus they are getting expensive now to import clay ones, basically same as Madhura almost
