Encountering Sadhus and the Rhythmic Kirtan
Amidst the vibrant marketplace, a group of sadhus caught our attention. Clad in saffron robes, their energy resonated with spirituality.
With musical instruments in hand, they formed a circle, engrossed in a kirtan – a devotional song. The leader, standing tall, danced with grace, captivating the onlookers.
Their kirtan echoed through the streets, drawing people towards the divine melody.
It was not just a performance; it was a manifestation of their unwavering belief in the sacredness of the place.
