In India, the ravanahatha is still played in Rajasthan. From India, the ravanahatha traveled westwards to the Middle East and Europe, where in the 9th century, it came to be called the Ravan strong. Some use to say that the Ravanahatha brought from Sri Lanka to India by Lord Hanuman.[6]
Thanks Namita, I thought it is used to drive away rakshas or ghost or something like that.
