The invention of Sitar is commonly credited to Amir Khusrau, a courtier of lauddin Khiiji in the 13th Century.

The name Sitar was derived from Persian 'Seh-tar' meaning 'three strings' which the instrument originally had.

But the modern Sitar has seven strings fastened to the pegs on the neck and the sides.

Sixteen to twenty-two frets are secured to the finger-board by pieces of gut. There are also 11 to 12 sympathetic strings below the frets, running parallel to the main strings.

The instrument is played by means of a wire plectrum worn on the forefinger of the right hand. It was instrumental in introducing western audiences to Indian Classical music.
