“On the occasion of Ashadi Ekadashi, when I sing abhangs here, I will consider that my prayers are being offered at the feet of the Lord in Pandharpur,” believes Jayateerth Mevundi, a Karnataka-based musician, who will be singing Marathi and Kannada abhangs at the Bolava Vitthal concert, to be held at the Shanmukhananda Hall, today. The sentiment of devotion, which dominated his chat, seemed to be a common thread that ran among every singer who would be performing today.
