Description

The sitar, a stringed instrument played by plucking, is one of the most well-known Indian musical instruments. It has gained popularity both in India and the west over the past few decades.

The origin of the sitar is however relatively unknown. It is regarded as an instrument that came in from Central Asia. It may also have descended from the 10th century long lute of the temple sculptures.

The 16th century Sufi mystic Amir Khusrow has also had a major role in the development of the instrument.
