Top 6 Indian Musical Instruments

World Famous Indian Musical Instruments

I am very fond of Indian Music and Indian Musical Instruments. Tabla, Harmonium, Flute, Sitar, Dholak, Veena are indeed the most popular musical instruments to be originated from India.  I call them top 6 as these instruments have received fame in India.

Tabla: The first thing that comes to my mind after hearing the word Tabla is the great Indian Tabla Player Z. Hussian.

Harmonium: It is one of the very popular India Musical Instrument. In almost every school India, harmoniums or pump organ are played while singing morning prayers. Most of them are now manufactured and exported from India to all over the world. Almost all devotional songs are played with harmonium or hand pump in India.

Flute: Many popular stories have been heard of Lord Krishna playing flute to attract girls. The great deity is always seen with flute in his hands. Though this wood wind instrument has been played world-wide with great flute players, yet the reference of India and Lord Krishna cannot be ignored.

Sitar: Sitar is often known by great Indian Musician Pundit Ravi Shankar.

Punjabi Dhol: Till date Indian Weddings are considered to be incomplete without Punjabi dhol or Dholak. Close friends and family members just cannot stop themselves from dancing on the tune of Dhol or Dholak.
