‘Bhajan Clubbing’ is a format of devotional music events that brings together large groups, particularly young people, in a concert-like setting. The trend blends traditional bhajans with a modern event format.

PM Modi had praised the trend during his ‘Mann Ki Baat’ broadcast in January this year, describing bhajan-clubbing as a blend of devotion, culture, spirituality and modernity that had found resonance among Gen Z.

He said such gatherings, where young people come together to sing bhajans and devotional songs, were “no less than global concerts”. PM Modi had also described the trend as an effort to combine spirituality with modernity while preserving the sanctity of bhajans.
