Veena

The veena is a traditional string instrument from India, celebrated for its rich, melodic sound. It typically has a long neck and two large resonating chambers, resembling a curved shape. The instrument is mainly used in classical Indian music, and there are various types, including the Saraswati veena and the Rudra veena. Musicians pluck the strings with their fingers or use a plectrum, producing complex sounds that convey deep emotion. The veena has a significant cultural and historical place in Indian art, often associated with the goddess of knowledge and arts, Saraswati.
