Learn more about the music:
Pelva Naik is one of India’s few female dhrupad singers, but believes that “gender dissolves once the tanpura starts”. Born into a Mumbai family of dancers, writers, and filmmakers, she studied a wide variety of creative forms as a child, including kathak, khayal, miniature painting, and literature in Hindi, Gujarati, and English. At age 17 she found an instant bond with dhrupad when Zia Fariduddin Dagar gave a workshop at her school (“it matched my element…like a rediscovery”).
She soon became his disciple, as well as receiving instruction from veena maestro Bahauddin Dagar, and after school went to study full-time at the Panvel Dhrupad Gurukul. Today she continues to build a highly impressive performance resume as well as nurturing a passion for teaching. She is keen to remind listeners that gender has always been more of a barrier to worldly success than to mastery of the music itself: “I still haven’t figured out [why] people say that dhrupad is a masculine art form, or where that idea comes from...It’s just that on the public platform, men had more exposure...Ustad’s grandmother was a veena player. She used to practice veena at home, and teach the children.”

“I think it is the matter of least concern as to which gender pursues dhrupad more and which less. The concern is how true the individual singer/musician is towards the art form.” (Pelva Naik)

We'd like to upload everything for free - but filming, editing, and hosting cost money, and we’re a small not-for-profit organisation. Signing up to the Darbar Player costs about the same as a couple of coffees a month ($5), which we hope is an excellent price for such a wealth of unique music.
Her eyes are so hypnotic 🥰, so soothing to look at

Agree completely!!
Pandit Mallikaarjun Mansur: "Without sitting under the Bodhi tree of the Tanpura, a singer cannot achieve sound enlightenment (naad nirvaana)."
Pandit Kumar Gandharva: "I am not singing my own music. I am just listening to the Tanpura and singing whatever it asks me to sing."
(I am not quoting their exact words, I am just paraphrasing from memory.)
The drone of the tanpura, big or small, is vital to Hindustani classical music!
I'm v intrigued by the artistic pillar to her right.
I am very taken by her serene look and austere sari. I kept watching the part where she closes her eyes and plays the strings.
😇

Tumburu literally is orgin of Tambura !!
Nice
ಸೂಪರ್ ಗುರು ಮೇಡಮ್ ಸೂಪರ್ ಸ್ಟಾರ್ ದನೇವದಗಳು 👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
Nice 👀
🙏
🙏🌹👍
I don't understand how it makes those sounds!
its the way the bridge is shaped bc it rolls off on a rounded edge, and bc of the threads that are put between the string and bridge that create a small gap that amplifies the entire string and vibrates that small section of string underneath the strings which creates the twangy sound
Please make a video of defference between Sitar & Tanpura
Hi Hemanta Majumdar,Thanks for your message - I will share this feedback with our management team :)

How do I spell the name of the sage that invented the Tanpura? It sounds like Tumarumashe but I can't find it when I do a google search.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumburu
Wow, are you still waiting to know?!
Tumbru Rishi (Tum pronounced like tom in tomorrow, bru like brew(syllable stress), Ri like re in repeat, shi like she (syllable stress).
Why is it beyond an accompanying instrument maa'm?
I m eager to know. Can you please enlighten me?
well i'm no ma'am, but i asume that it does not only serve as accompaniment, but also as the whole base of the songs with its resonance. It's always repeating too, which gives it a meditating quality, an inevitability and trascendence that i've not seen in many instruments.
Mainak Bhattacharyya this instrument is a drone instrument, meaning that it makes sure that you don’t get off scale. Since it is tuned to Sa.
@@nopetellingnothing45 i felt the same
Her eyes are meditative ....
It is used to be called tambura
