Tools and Raw Materials
Different types of tools and raw materials are used for making Veena. Jackfruit wood is used as a basic raw material for the veena making purpose. Jackfruit trees are abundantly available in Tanjore region. The initial or the base parts are made by the expert artisans. The different parts of the wood are attached by the locally made adhesive. Wood/Saw dust is also used to cover the gaps in between. Lac work is beautifully made on the product to give an elegant look at the end of the process. The miniature designs are attractively carved by chiseling which gives a rich look to the product.
