Temple Bhajan Band
Filed under: Reader
The Temple Bhajan Band is a group of devotional chanters that have been touring Southern California since 1999. The heart of the band is Sura, who sings to the accompaniment of the harmonium as he leads the rest of the members on instruments such as the esaraja, tamboura, kartals, flute, violin, and mrdunga drum in a dynamic symphony that is timeless.
The Temple Bhajan Band plays ancient Vedic bhajans, which include mantras and chants from spiritual India. Many of the chants are done in a responsive fashion where the audience can participate and experience the purifying pleasure of the chanting. At their events they also bring a slide show of India to exhibit during the chanting.
