Description: The bansuri is a traditional Indian flute made from a single hollow shaft of bamboo, cherished for its light, airy sound. The instrument's simplicity—characterized by six to seven finger holes—belies the complexity of the music it can produce, ranging from haunting melodies to rapid, intricate rhythms.

Playing Technique:The bansuri is played by blowing across the top opening and covering the finger holes in various combinations to produce different notes. Mastery of breath control is crucial, allowing players to express a wide emotional range through sustained notes and fast-paced sequences.
