A sarinda or saranda is a stringed folk musical instrument from North and Eastern India and Pakistan, similar to the sarangi, lute, and the fiddle.[1][2]
The sarinda is played with a bow and is crafted from a single wooden block, and features three playable strings, consisting of two steel strings and one made from gut, along with a total of thirty-six sympathetic strings. These strings cascade down a slender waist and traverse an oval-shaped resonating chamber, which is partially adorned with animal skin. It is played while sitting on the ground in a vertical orientation.[1]
