Mohan veena

[1][2] In 1949, Thakur Jaidev Singh, the then chief producer of All India Radio, named the instrument 'Mohan veena' after him.

[3] Pandit Maitra performed 22 national programs and several AIR recordings with the instrument before his untimely death in 1981.

He was bestowed with Sangeet Natak Academy's Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar in 2019 for his work on the revival of rare instruments like Sursingar, Mohan Veena and also for playing the Sarod.

Pandit Mukherjee has played this type of Mohan Veena in G20 Leaders' Summit held in New Delhi at Bharat Mandapam in September 2023 in front of the World Leaders and the Indian Prime Minister, President and cabinet of ministers.

A gourd (tumba) is screwed into the back of the neck for improved sustain and resonance.
