Ravanhastha

1). Ravanhasta or ravanhatta originated among the Hela civilization of Sri Lanka at the time of King Ravana. The bowl is made of a cut coconut shell that is covered with goat hide. A Dandi, made of bamboo, is attached to this shell. There are two principle strings: one of steel and the other of a set of HORSE HAIRS. The long bow has jingle bells. From India, the ravanahatta traveled westwards to the Middle East and Europe, where in the 9th century, it came to be called the Ravan string. It is called Ravanhatta in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan, Tamil nadu etc and other parts of India . Ravanhastha is considered the FIRST VIOLIN in history. This instrument was played in royal courts and was considered part of the "high culture".
