Ganga (musical instrument)

The Ganga is a traditional Indian musical instrument, often classified as a string instrument. It typically features a resonant body and multiple strings that are plucked or strummed to produce sound. The instrument is known for its rich, melodic tones and is commonly used in classical Indian music, especially in folk and devotional contexts. Its design and playing technique can vary across regions, but it generally emphasizes expressive, nuanced melodies. The Ganga's deep, resonant sound is valued for its ability to evoke emotion and complement vocal performances or other instruments.
