The jawari of Sitar is a bridge that rests on the tabli ie the sound board of a sitar near the bottom. It is made out of a piece of wood shaped like a rectangle with one side missing. On it rests a piece of bone that is carefully surfaced. The surfacing is done by sanding or filing the top and is called ‘jawari karna’ or doing the jawari.
