Shabad Kirtan is a form of devotional music in the Sikh tradition, where hymns from the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism, are sung. This practice emphasizes the importance of spiritual connection and community, often performed in Gurdwaras, or Sikh places of worship. The singing is typically accompanied by traditional instruments like the harmonium and tabla, creating a melodic atmosphere that enhances the spiritual experience. Participants often join in, fostering a sense of unity and devotion as they reflect on the teachings of the Gurus through the lyrics of the hymns.
