Nagar kirtan

Nagar Kirtan (Sanskrit: नगर कीर्तन; IAST: nāgara-kīrtana), or nagar sankirtan, is a tradition in the Indian religions involving the processional singing of holy hymns by a group in a residential area.

[5] The congregational singing of Chaitanya was done to folk tunes and accompanied by the boisterous booming of drums and cymbals.

[6] A February 2021 video of a nagar sankirtan at Sri Seetha Rama temple in Ashwathapura, Dakshina Kannada, by Raghu Leela School of Music went viral on social media with millions of views.

[1] Nagar Kirtan (Punjabi: ਨਗਰ-ਕੀਰਤਨ (Gurmukhi)), in Sikhism, is customary in the festival of Vaisakhi.

Food may be provided to them from floats that follow the Scripture or from stationary points near the vicinity of the procession.
