Episode notes
India’s music has ghosts. 🎶
Instruments once revered, mastered and celebrated have quietly disappeared from our cultural memory.
The Rudra Veena. The Mayuri. The Ravanahatha. The Jal Tarang. The Shruti Veena. The mysterious Pushkara.
What happened to them? And why did some Indian instruments survive while others were almost erased?
Sometimes the most extraordinary music is in what history stopped us from hearing.
