Jayanthi Kumaresh shares her deep connection with the Saraswati veena, tracing its millennia-long evolution and its role in Indian classical music. Coming from a six-generation musical lineage, she reflects on her family’s influence, the veena’s significance, and its relationship with other instruments like the sitar and rudra veena. She also talks about her electrifying Darbar Festival 2024 performance where she presented the rare raag kantamani–a piece that challenges artistic boundaries–alongside Jayachandra Rao on mridangam and Giridhar Udupa on ghatam.
