The Sitar is the most iconic plucked string instrument of Hindusthani classical music, recognised worldwide for its distinctive resonant tone produced by its long neck, movable frets, multiple sympathetic strings, and gourd resonator. It can reproduce all the nuances of a vocal raga including meend, gamak, and intricate taans, making it one of the most versatile melodic instruments in the tradition. Pandit Ravi Shankar brought the Sitar to global recognition, establishing it as a defining symbol of Indian classical music and its profound cultural heritage.
