Esraj

The esraj is a bowed string instrument from North India and West Bengal, often described as a modern relative of the dilruba. It is characterized by a sitar-like neck with movable frets, a wooden body covered with goatskin, and sympathetic strings that vibrate along with the main strings, creating a rich and melodic sound.

Such a beautiful song and so beautifully played. This instrument is called Esraj. It sounds like a sarangi and looks like a sitar. The name of the artiste is Aparajita Chakraborty - https://x.com/dnjoshispeaks/status/1992279697485648327
