Today, Dev just jumped headlong into a river- i sincerely hope it is not the Yamuna- technically it is a dead river and you will get any number of water borne diseases. The E. coli content in the water is at an alarmingly high level that thinking about it can cause diarrhea. We want our Dev safe, likewise Rads was getting water from the said river- bad idea.
In the precap they showed Rads with a Tanjore veena in her hand but the sounds of a sitar were emitting in the sound track- careful CVs- the bass sound of a veena cannot vie with the high shrill sound of the sitar- 2 very different instruments and there are thousands watching this show who know no better and u are not "educating" them.
This is E Gayathri, an amazing veena artist
The legendary Pt. Ravi Shankar himself with his instrument.
There are many difference - physical as well as tonal between the veena and the sitar. I am glad they did not pretend it to be a tanpura which has no frets but is used to give sur.
Cvs- a humble request- please do some research- visual media in the digital age demands research.
