The Sarangi is a traditional Indian string instrument known for its deep, resonant sound and its ability to mimic the human voice. It's a member of the bowed string family, crafted from a single block of wood and played with a bow, drawing out its soulful tones that beautifully express intricate ragas and emotional melodies.
Over the years, the sarangi has been beautifully played by maestros such as Ustad Ram Narayan and Ustad Sultan Khan, who have both contributed greatly to its popularity. Their music continues to inspire countless musicians and audiences worldwide.
