I know that the western flute is chromatic whereas the bansuri is diatonic. I believe that glissando (gliding) would be more difficult or impossible on a western flute whereas it's technically possible bansuri.
That being said, one of the things to take into consideration is price. A bansuri is considerably less expensive than an orchestral flute, and you could probably even build one yourself without too much trouble. Also, as far as I am concerned, flutes lacking a solid silver headjoint or, conversely, fully made out of silver are a waste of money (I am no specialist though).
The other thing is the material used. I personally avoid instruments made of wood like the plague, because they crack and do not respond well to certain climates, but if you are not too attached to your instrument, that's hardly a problem. After all, a bansuri is not a clarinet and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. But climate is an issue. If you live somewhere humid or with constant temperature jumps (like Australasia), be prepared to have to adjust your embouchure and airflow and make the tuner your best friend.
Ease of handling might be important to you as well. A bansuri doesn't have any keys or rods you could accidentally bend or any key pads that will gather mould and spit and will eventually have to be replaced. On the other hand, a flute might be easier to transport, as it is usually made out of 3 pieces (headjoint, body and footjoint) that fit into an average backpack or instrument case.
I think glissando is easier (and totally possible) on the Western flute. And this is where I have to mention that Western flutes come in 2 major flavours: open-hole and closed-hole. I find glissando easier on an open-hole Western flute than on a bansuri. The fact that the Western flute has action (the keys and rods mentioned earlier) gives a lot more control over the speed and quality of glissandos. The effect is especially noticeable for glissandos that involve transitions larger than a semitone, which are a pain in the behind for non-chromatic instruments. Another advantage of the Western flute is that you can buy an open-hole one and some rubber plugs to fit into the holes when you are beginning to learn it and don't have the proper finger positioning figured out yet. So an open-hole flute can be transformed into a closed-hole one in a matter of seconds, whereas you will have to be precise about your finger positioning on the bansuri from the get-go.
Non-chromatic instruments (like bansuri or harmonica) can be played chromatically but involve a lot more "cheating" (like bending notes or not fully covering the tone holes). Theoretically, you could get a bansuri in 1 key and learn to play it chromatically, but most harmonica and bansuri players keep a few around anyway.
As for your final question... in all honesty, I think neither instrument is well-suited for a beginner. It took me hours to get my first tone on the flute, and I've heard stories from other players who had spent weeks. So unless you already play another instrument, be ready for a world of pain. Both instruments are very unforgiving and require precise posture and airflow. The mirror will be your best friend along with the tuner.
Dark humour aside, playing music usually comes down to playing music with others. So your choice will be affected by what kind of music you plan on playing. A Western flute is a versatile instrument suitable for classical music, jazz, metal - you name it. And other players will usually have nothing against you joining them. Sadly, a bansuri might not be as welcome.
Even if you only want to play by yourself in the dark ambience of your cellar, acquiring note sheets for bansuri will be a lot more difficult (and will probably involve getting through some non-Western notation as well), whereas you can get virtually anything for flute. The fingering charts for bansuri involve non-Western terminology as well, which you will have to get familiar with.
I hope this gives you a better idea of what to take into consideration. I'd personally get both. If you get the Western flute, stay on the lookout for intermediate models with a solid silver headjoint. A lot of students give up their instruments for relatively cheap once they finish school. And an intermediate/professional instrument will also sell better (and sometimes at a profit), so if you decide you don't like it, you'll be able to get your money back.
Simple If you like western music that relies on the a wide range of notes, go for western flute because it can cover more notes. While a bansuri only has 6/8 holes which has a limited range of notes but can make much more soothing music by ornamenting each notes. If you like that, then go for bansuri. For a beginner, I recommend bansuri because of simple fingering.

Bansuris are available in many different sizes. The size determines the pitch and basic sound characteristics. Generally speaking longer and lower bansuris have a mellow, rich and warm sound whereas smaller bansuris can sound very sweet but also a bit squeaky. In classical North Indian raga music e.g. the most commonly used solo bansuris have a length of 70 to 75 cm. Their lowest note is B and their Indian tonic Sa is E (a fourth above the lowest note). Sa = F is also used for classical ragas and is a particular favourite of G.S Sachdev. Sa = G with its sweet mellow tone is often used for devotional music and Sa = D is perfect for meditation because of its deep soothing tone. However, the longer the bansuri the harder to hold it. Even with large hands you need a good amount of practice to master a concert size bansuri with Sa = E.
Ideally you have an opportunity to try out bansuris in different sizes (and get some personal advice) at the shop of India Instruments, at friends' or at your prospective bansuri teacher. That way you get a direct feel of what size you can handle well. We advice beginners to start with a relatively small bansuri, which you can hold comfortably and relaxed. That way you can focus on the blowing and the fingering technique without any stress from permanently overstretched fingers. Once you are at ease with the basics you can switch to larger and more challenging bansuris.
Lyon Leifer, in his manual "How To Play The Bansuri", suggests starting with a small bansuri at Sa = c (lowest note = G). In our experience however, most beginners spontaneously manage well with bansuris at Sa = A (lowest note = E) or Sa = G (lowest note = D). Large Bansuris in the concert size Sa = E are only recommendable for musicians with very large hands or a lot of previous experience. The choice of pitch might also be determined by your wish of playing together regularly with certain other instruments or ensembles.
If you are uncertain about which size suits you best, we can send you a small selection of bansuris in various szies for trying out at home. If you like to use this service, you just have to send the unfitting bansuris back to us within 14 days after receipt at your own cost.
Bansuri flute beginners are seldom mislead by this perception that they can do with a sub standard flute/bansuri to begin with. If you are not a pro, why do you need an expensive professional grade instrument? Well, i would like to clarify and suggest my beginner/leanner friends, that you deserve a professional grade bansuri more than anyone else.
Practicing on a perfectly tuned and crafted bansuri from the day one will benefit you immensely in areas which you will not be able to comprehend initially. Proper hand placement, tone reflection and blowing adjustments are suggested and are perhaps only possible with the help of a perfectly crafted bansuri. Infact, you should also trust the Bnasuri maker for this choice in the beginning and take this bansuri to your guru. The combination of these 2 persons in your life shall help you to reach to your debut instrument in the best possible manner.
Bansuri Maintenance is very important to keep this beautiful and delicate instrument in top condition. Proper maintenance is necessary for both beginners and experienced players to ensure the longevity and sound quality of their bansuri.
One of the most common ways bansuris get damaged is through mishandling. Dropping, hitting, or knocking the bansuri against hard surfaces can cause cracks or breaks in the bamboo, affecting its sound quality.
Proper storage is another essential aspect of bansuri maintenance. Storing the instrument in a hard carry case can protect it from physical damage and unfavorable environmental conditions. The carry case that comes with the bansuri is designed to provide optimal protection and is highly recommended for storage. By storing your bansuri properly, you can help to ensure its longevity and preserve its quality.
Bamboo, the primary material used to make bansuris, is sensitive to extreme temperatures and dryness. Exposure to high temperatures or dry environments can cause the bamboo to crack or warp, which can affect the sound quality of the bansuri.
Children are naturally curious and may accidentally damage the bansuri while playing with it. Ensure proper bansuri maintenance by keeping them away from reach of children to avoid any accidents or mishandling.
Threading is an essential part of bansuri maintenance as it helps keep the bamboo flute sturdy and can prevent it from cracking. If the threads on your bansuri are loose, it is important to put them back in place to prevent further damage. Make sure to regularly check the threading on your bansuri and replace or repair it if necessary.
