BHĀRAT KATHĀ
​भारत कथा 

Do you think music is a commotion, a drama?

​

Swaroop Khan has a story to share in words and music. He is facing an uphill task to disprove some people from his community; he is doing something different from the rest. I found him in Jaisalmer. Swaroop comes from the lineage of Manganiars, who are celebrated and skilled musicians of Thar Desert — The Thar desert singers.

 

They have survived through Rajput Kings’ patronages, and their songs have been passed orally through generations.

​

Although they are Muslims, they perform Hindu rituals, and their songs are in praise of Hindu deities and celebrate Hindu festivals.

​

They traditionally ask Lord Krishna for his blessing before initiating their performance.

​

So, sit back and enjoy the story with English, Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish subtitles. Also on Amazon Prime Video in UK, USA, Germany and Japan.
