Rabab and Santoor musical instruments are on display during the 'Know Your Artisan' exhibition organized by the Department of Handicrafts and Handloom Kashmir in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on November 20, 2025. The santoor is a traditional Kashmiri string instrument, originally known as the Shatatantri Veena, that has deep cultural roots in the region and is played using two small wooden mallets. A rabab is a traditional stringed musical instrument, often a lute-like instrument, that originates from Central Asia and is prominent in Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan.
