The violin is a four‑stringed instrument played with a bow and holds a special place in Carnatic music. Introduced in the late 18th–early 19th century, it quickly became essential both as an accompaniment and a solo instrument.
Its origins trace back to the Ravanahatha, a folk instrument from Rajasthan linked to the legend of Ravana. Over time, the violin became a musical bridge between Europe and India — keeping its structure but adopting uniquely Indian tuning, posture, and playing techniques.
This miniature violin captures that blend of history and artistry, making it a meaningful keepsake for musicians and lovers of Indian classical music.
