Miraj Tanpura

The Miraj Tanpura is a long-necked plucked string instrument, integral to Indian classical music. Originating from Miraj in Sangli district, Maharashtra, it is renowned for its deep, resonant drone that sustains and supports melody. Crafted traditionally with natural materials, its hollow gourd resonator (tumba) and delicately finished body produce a rich tapestry of overtones, making it the finest Tanpura worldwide.
