I am looking to find gats for beginner ragas to practice. Is there a good YouTube channel or a book which can provide guidance on learning it? It would be very helpful to me.

Hi community! I was duped the last time when I bought Sitar as a beginner from a shop in Jaipur as I was sold a low quality Lucknow Sitar while I paid the amount for a good quality Kolkata Sitar. I have managed to return it and am now looking to buy a new one. However, I am wary of being duped again and therefore looking for suggestions for reliable places to buy Sitars in Delhi. Also, it would be really helpful if someone can suggest the most important things to look for in Sitar while buying. This will really help me and I will try to take someone knowledgeable with me this time.
