Prithwindra Mukherjee, an ethnomusicologist, defines and exposes the Kîrtana principles, a kind of dance and ritual song celebrating Krishna, the eighth incarnation of the love deity, and Rhada. This musical and danced kind comes from a very old cultural practice dating from the 4th century and has evolved for centuries.
