Pakhawaj has a single barrel shaped wooden body. I have seen Pakhawaj made of clay and metal- but those are rare. It is placed horizontally on floor/on the lap and played. For Tabla, the bass side, too, has the black iron based sahi.

The Pakhawaj is an ancient Indian drum, ancestor to the Tabla.

Tabla is an invention fathered by the Pakhavaj. The tal-s too are the same; e.g. Pakhavaj has a 12 beat cycle, so does Tabla except that nomenclature differs - Tabla terms it Ektāl and Pakhavaj, Chautāl. So, pretty much much of the tāl system is alike. However, having said that please remember that the...

Tabla is an invention fathered by the Pakhavaj. The tal-s too are the same; e.g. Pakhavaj has a 12 beat cycle, so does Tabla except that nomenclature differs - Tabla terms it Ektāl and Pakhavaj, Chautāl. So, pretty much much of the tāl system is alike. However, having said that please remember that the movement of the tāl-s is very different. For instance take the 16-beat cycle (Teentāl):

 

Tabla :

 

DHA DHIN DHIN DHA |

 

DHA DHIN DHIN DHA |

 

DHA TIN TIN TA |

 

TA DHIN DHIN DHA |

 

Pakhāvaj:

 

DHA DHETE DHETE DHA

 

TA DHETE DHETE DHA

 

KAT TITA TITA TA

 

TITA KATA GADI GANA

 

The movement (chalan) is completely different. To answer an oft-asked question: is it possible to play a composition (in sixteen beats) created for tabla on Pakhāvaj? No. However, there are compositions created in Pakhāvaj that depart from the above and resemble the Tabla-style bol-s.
