Collection: Kirtan

Kirtan is a devotional musical tradition rooted in ancient Hindu practices, characterized by its call-and-response style of singing and chanting. This soul-stirring genre often features repetitive mantras or divine names set to melodic compositions, accompanied by traditional instruments such as harmonium, tabla, and cymbals. Two prominent sub-genres within Kirtan include Hare Krishna, which centers around the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra and is closely associated with the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), and Marathi Devotional, which originates from the Maharashtra region of India and typically focuses on songs praising various Hindu deities in the Marathi language. Both styles aim to create a transcendent, meditative experience for participants, fostering a deep sense of spiritual connection and community among devotees.
