Technically speaking, the letter व is something between the English V and W (see also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_labiodental_approximant). In most examples I heard, व appears to be pronounced much closer to V (as far as I can tell). I suppose this is one of the examples of the opposite. Note that there are no separate letters to represent V and W in Devanagari (see also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devanagari#Letters).

I notice that if the व immediately follows another consonant as a conjunct, it tends to be pronounced more like w. At the beginning of a word it is more often pronounced v.
