Rishikesh Music Festival 2022 - Rhythm of Life

Raga Bhairava | Baha'ud'din Mohiuddin Dagar (Recorded Live @ Rishikesh Music Festival 2022)

The Rudra veena —also called Bīn in North India—is a large plucked string instrument used in Hindustani classical music, especially dhrupad. It is one of the major types of veena played in Indian classical music, notable for its deep bass resonance.

According to oral tradition, Shiva created the rudra vina, with the two tumba resonator gourds representing the breasts of either his wife Parvati or the goddess of arts and learning Saraswati, and the long dandi tube as the merudanda, both the human spine and the cosmic axis.The length of the fretted area of the dandi is traditionally given as nine fists—the distance from the navel to the top of the skull.

Baha'ud'din Mohiuddin Dagar is the rudra veena player and son of famous north Indian musician Zia Mohiuddin Dagar. He plays rudra veena with the dagarbani style. He represents the 20th generation of Dagar lineage, referring to Nayak Haridas Dagar of the 16th century.
