Density fluctuations in a torsional quiescent prominence were studied with Solar Optical Telescope on board of Hinode satellite. Continuous observations were made in Ca II H line from ~15:00 UT May 03, 2008; the observational duration was ~1 hr with a cadence time ~ 30s. The emission intensity along the prominence axis as functions of altitudes and time shows fluctuations in brightness with local peaks in Fourier power spectra, indicating the presence of periods and intervallic displacements to be 3 ~ 11 min and 2 ~ 7 Mm respectively and statistically significant peaks at 368 ± 63s & 620 ± 41 s, and 3.3 ± 0.6 Mm regime. The distance is the line of sight projection. These intensity disturbances may perhaps be caused by density fluctuations originated from compressional waves in which the possible origin could be the combinations of p-mode oscillations induced at the surface and twisting of the flux tube.
