From Wikipedia
The taus, also known as the mayuri veena, is a bowed string instrument from North India. It is a form of veena used in North India with a peacock-shaped resonator called a mayuri, and is played with the neck of the instrument on bow.
References to the mayuri veena have been found in Malavikagnimitra, written by the Sanskrit poet Kalidasa between the 4th to 5th centuries CE. The name taus is a Persian translation of the word 'peacock', or mayura in Sanskrit.
