Answer:
The Answer to this question is....
Explanation:
In the reign of Aurangzeb, a mughal emperor, he banned an instrument called pungi that was carried by snake charmers in the locals and would show their performance so he considered that the sound of the instrument was quite unpleasant and shrilly and he ordered the instument makers to make this pungi modified and they made the instrument narrowed from the top to bottom and when they played the emperor was so pleased with the sound that he ordered to play the instrument only on auspicious events. To this day the instrument has got a name called as shehnai.
