Musical Instruments

Punjab has a rich musical tradition as Punjab's folkal instruments go back many centuries. These instruments have left a big impression in the history of Punjab. Bhai Mardana, the disciple of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, used to play a musical instrument called Rabab. Whenever Guruji used to recite Gurbani, they would say:

Mardaneya, Rabab Vaja
