Origins and brief history of the Shehnai/Nafeeri:-

The origins of music in India are deeply spiritual and devotional. Many of the Hindu Gods and Goddesses are associated with music and rhythm and often depicted in the act of music making. Lord Krishna is able to seduce his followers with the enchanting sound of the bamboo flute, Saraswati is inseparable from the Vina, while Shiva dances to the beat of the damaru (hour-glass) drum. Even today, the auspicious sound of the Shehnai, filling the atmosphere with a soothing sweetness and sublime peace, can be heard in temples at the time of early morning and evening prayer while its presence at a wedding is said to bring good fortune for the newly wed.

The precise origins of the Shehnai, also known as the oboe of Northern India, are uncertain. The name Shehnai is of Persian origin (In Persian, "Sah" means "King" and "Nai" means "Wind Instrument"), and some theorize that the instrument may have been taken to India from Persia by the Mughals, a tribe of Mongolian origin, which occupied much of northern India from the 16th century to the 18th century. Others believe the Shehnai may have developed from an earlier Indian folk instrument called the pungi.

In India, the Shehnai was one of the nine instruments associated with the ensembles of royal courts where it was called Mangal Vadya, which translates to"auspicious instrument." It was the main the feature of the naubat (a term for a drum house or orchestra pit during ceremonies), traditionally played by musicians in courtyards or over gateways in palaces and temples to mark the hours of the day. The Hindu elephant God Ganesh is also depicted playing the shehnai in ancient sculptures. Although the Shehnai has played a prominent role in Indian music culture for centuries, its introduction in classical music has come only in the last century.
