The major ones commonly known to westerners are the sitar, which is a multi-stringed instrument used for melodies (which are in quarter tones, unlike western music, which is in half tones), the tabla, a small drum that has many different possible tones, the tanpura, shennai, mridangam, and harmonium. For more information, see the link below. The different musical instruments of India are very interesting, and make wonderful music. The sitar is usually played by a man, and the tanpura by a woman, to add body to the music. The second link is a much more comprehensive list. While the information on the site may be very scanty, it will give you names of instruments you can then use for searches. Enjoy!

Sitars are great.
They use them in some Beatles songs.
