Kirtan
Kirtan (also known as sankirtana) is a Sanskrit word that means “praise” or “eulogy.” It refers to a form of call-and-response chanting involving mantras or hymns. In this musical practice, multiple singers recite the names of deities, describe legends, express loving devotion, or discuss spiritual ideas.Kirtan is deeply rooted in Indian religions and is a major practice in Hinduism, Vaisnava devotionalism, Sikhism, Sant traditions, and certain forms of Buddhism. The performance often includes accompaniment by traditional Indian musical instruments like the harmonium, tabla, and flute.
