मनजीतची संगीताची आवड व इतिहासाची नावड लक्षात घेऊन आज टोपीने सांगीतलेल्या अरबी वाद्ययंत्र "दिलरूबा" या तंतुवाद्याबद्दल माहिती सांगीतली.आता अन्य भारतीय वाद्यांची माहिती सांगतो.

1.Indian musical instruments can be broadly classified into four categories like stringed, wind, Ghana Vadya and percussion.

2.Indian musical instrument is as old as its musical tradition and culture. 3.This fascination is passionately encased into the poetic and mythic imagination of the Indians and is reverberated amidst the fervour of folktales, fables, myths and legends. 4.Indian musical instruments thus have a rich timeline.

5.In fact when Lord Shiva as the epitome of the creator, destroyer and sustainers danced the Tandava then each pounding beat of his Damaru (the small drum Lord Shiva holds in His hand) alternated the forces of darkness and light.

6.The terrible yet awe-inspiring, passionate yet fierce sound of the "Damaru" is said to be the origin of the concept of the musical instrument.

7.Mythology asserts that Lord Shiva, the lord of dance, gifted humanity four instruments; the Veena, the Venu, the Damaru and the Mridanga.

8.This indeed connotes that these might have been the primordial parent instruments.

9.That was just the beginning of the journey of musical instruments in India as a devotional offering and accompaniment of music.
