Dhrupad instruments

Dhrupad is a classical style of Indian music known for its deep, meditative quality. It is traditionally accompanied by specific instruments. The most notable are the **Tanpura**, which provides a continuous drone, the **Pakhawaj**, a two-headed drum that adds rhythm, and the **Vina**, a plucked string instrument that enhances the melody. These instruments work together to create a rich, immersive sound, supporting the vocal performance that characterizes Dhrupad. This style emphasizes proper pronunciation and emotional depth, making the instrumental arrangement crucial for its aesthetic experience.
