As the camera focuses on a Vitthal idol in a temple, we hear poet-saint Tukaram’s popular Marathi couplet, Sundar te dhyan.... describing the lord’s attire in the background. Suddenly, the song picks up tempo with heavy bass notes, drums, tabla and guitar riffs as five musicians perform in a temple, head banging to the chorus, Jai Jai Ram Krishna Hari. Uploaded last year on YouTube on the occasion of Ashadhi Ekadashi, Sundar Te Dhyan is the first music video by Abhanga Repost, a Mumbai-based contemporary folk band that fuses Marathi devotional poetry with modern sounds.
