Singer

The term "Singer" might not directly spell out "Hinduism" or carry an inherent cultural connotation when heard in English. However, within the multitude of cultures that Hindus have subscribed to, music has occupied a significant place. Hindu music has evolved various forms, from the classical Carnatic and Hindustani ragas to the popular film and devotional genres. Singers, as cultural interpreters and performers, have had an integral role in perpetuating these musical traditions.

Furthermore, singing is often a part of various Hindu rituals and practices. For instance, in Vedic scriptures, the journeys of the gods are divulged through hymns and mantras. Bhajans, a devotional form of Hindu music, are still deeply crowd-sourced practices, where individuals sing together to invoke a collective consciousness of the divine. In Sikhism, the holy scripture, Guru Granth Sahib, is believed to be revealed through divine songs, called shabads, that contain the immutable teachings of the enlightened Gurus.
