Some historians date it back to 5000 years; Others say 2000 + years which is the age of the musical genre Carnatic Music - the classical music of South India. It is revered as the National Instrument of India and is so named as the Goddess of Arts, Culture and Wisdom, Saraswathi, holds this instrument in her hand symbolizing all that She Stands For.
