The Chitraveena is one of the rarest instruments in the music world and only a handful of people even get the chance to learn the art of mastering the 21 strings. The reason the instrument is even known around the world is Chitraveena. N. Ravikiran. He regularly travels the world performing in places from Australia to Germany showcasing the instrument in all its glory.
Although instruments are a vital part of Carnatic music, they are given a lower priority over vocalists as the Carnatic music community prefers to listen to vocal concerts over instrumental ones. Many of the great artists were instrumentalists but that has little effect on the reducing popularity of instruments in the Carnatic world.
This makes it harder for the Chitraveena to make a mark on this world and it's now up to you and me to change this for the better.
