Fave indian instrument

I was never a big sitar fan, I always preferred records with a Dano/Coral electric sitar, but the one instrument I love the sound of is the tambura. I guess the best examples of it's razzy drone would be "On The Road Again" by Canned Heat, and "Getting Better" by The Beatles. Below is a vid from youtube that within the first 20 seconds sums up the sound nicely

That is an interesting instrument. The sound is exotic. Puts me in mind of Apocalypse Now .
Not all that into exotic instruments myself, other than finding them mildly interesting. I guess that is why I consider myself a guitar player and not truly a "musician".
