Rudra Veena Revival Through Unlikely Collaboration

The rudra veena is a very old and special musical instrument that was almost forgotten.

A young sculptor named Kunal Joshi was asked to make two wooden figures for a musician named Bahauddin Dagar.

Joshi didn't know what they were for, but later he found out they were for a special veena.

He learned how to make and fix the veena from Dagar.

Now, Joshi makes veenas for musicians.

A movie called 'The Shape of Sound' tells this story.

The rudra veena is hard to make and play, but Dagar and Joshi are working to keep it alive.

The veena has a deep, magical sound that people love.

Dagar plays it at a special place in Delhi called the Sufi Inayat Khan Dargah.

The movie shows how art, music, and science came together to save this special instrument.
