History:

India has a rich musical history with its very own musical instruments. The music of ancient India has its roots from the many indigenous instruments. As per Natya Shastra by Bharat Muni (composed between 200 BC and 200 AD) musical instruments are of four kinds, such as ‘stringed’ (tata), ‘covered’ (avanaddha), ‘solid’ (ghana) and ‘hollow’ (suṣira).  Among these, the ‘stringed’ are those with strings, the ‘covered’ means the percussion instruments / drums, the ‘solid’ the cymbals and the ‘hollow’ the flutes.  Some instruments are used primarily in North Indian music (Hindustani Sangeet), some are used in the south Indian music (Carnatic Sangeet), while others are found in folk music. 

A few artisans of Midnapore, West Bengal make these miniature music instruments  with all detailing and fine work to ensure the end product is an exact replica. This miniature instrument is handcrafted from solid well-seasoned wood with excellent craftsmanship of woodcarving.
