Keertanas are devotional songs primarily found in the Hindu tradition, often expressing love and devotion to God. They are typically composed in various regional languages and are sung during religious ceremonies, festivals, and spiritual gatherings. The melodies and lyrics aim to evoke a sense of devotion and connection with the divine. These songs can vary in style and structure, with some being simple and others more complex. Keertanas are an essential part of Bhakti movement, which emphasizes personal devotion to God over ritualistic practices. They serve as a means of spiritual expression and community bonding among devotees.
