HISTORY OF INDIAN VEENA.
Ancient Classical Texts, Samhita, Aranykas and Brahmanas mention different kinds of Veenas such as Hans, Vana, Godha, Kandha, Jaluka, Alambu, Kapisirshini, Karkari, Picchola, Vakra, Sila, Satantantri and Audumbari. Other types of Veenas find specific mention in the Pauranic texts, Ramayana and the literary and scholarly works of Kalidasa and Bana. Scholars like Sarangadeva, Somnatha, Nijaguna Sivayogi, Sudhakalasa have also mentioned various other types of Veenas in their works. In the Upanishads the daand of the Veena is compared to the Human Spinal Column while each vertebrae is compared with the Veena frets.
Veena has always been the defacto accompanist instrument to one's own vocal performance and the singers used to play the Been while singing the Khayal or the Dhruva Padas.
