As it has a preferred apparent consistency over pungi, Shehnai is a superior adaptation of pungi. It is an empty stem line of regular beginning that is longer and more extensive than a pungi. The body of the line has seven openings.

Before the British showed up, when the Mughals controlled India, there was an extremely unmistakable Mughal ruler called Aurangzeb. In his regal home, he didn’t allow the pungi to be played in light of the fact that he felt it had a deafening, undesirable sound.
The barber of a gifted artist’s family, who had connections to the regal castle, chose to upgrade the pungi’s apparent consistency. The hairdresser got a line, a line that had an empty stem. Longer and more extensive than the pungi, it was. He made seven openings in the line body, Closing and opening a portion of these openings when he played on it, delicate and pleasant sounds were made.
He played the instrument before sovereignty and everybody was dazzled. Another name must be allocated to the instrument so particular from the pungi. As the story goes, the instrument was known as the ‘shehnai’ in light of the fact that it was first played in the Shah’s chambers and was played by a nai (stylist).
In the lord’s court, in sanctuaries and at weddings, the shehnai was performed. In exhibitions, it was utilized in front of an audience and the credit for that goes to Utsad Bismillah Khan, who was an amazing shehnai player and individuals needed to hear him play the shehnai.
