Description
The Veena (often spelled “Vinai” in some regional languages) is a traditional Indian string instrument, deeply rooted in classical music, especially in South India’s Carnatic music tradition. The wooden veena is known for its rich, resonant sound and complex structure. It typically consists of a large, carved wooden body with a resonating gourd and a long neck with frets, usually made from high-quality wood like jackwood or rosewood.
