Abhang
An Abhang is a traditional devotional song from the Marathi-speaking region of India, primarily dedicated to the Hindu saint Tukaram. It is a form of poetic hymn that expresses devotion, spiritual longing, and philosophical insights through simple yet poetic language. Abhangs are usually sung collectively or individually, often accompanied by musical instruments. They serve as a means to connect with the divine, promote spiritual reflection, and preserve cultural heritage. Originating from the Bhakti movement, Abhangs emphasize personal devotion and faith, making spirituality accessible and engaging for common people.
