1. (Proper Noun) A large plucked string instrument used in Hindustani music. It is an ancient instrument, and is rarely played in the present day. The rudra veena declined in popularity partly due to the introduction, in the early nineteenth century, of the surbahar, which allowed sitarists to more easily present the alap sections of slow dhrupad-style ragas. এবিধ প্ৰাচীন তাঁৰৰ বাদ্য

English: Rudra Veena,
Assamese: ৰবাব, ৰুদ্ৰবীণা
