Barahmasa Song

Barahmasa is a popular form of season song. The word ‘barahmasa’ literally means ’12 months’. This kind of song contains the reference to each month of the year. However, the recital of these songs is practiced more during the monsoon season. Some songs belonging to this variety describe the state of separation during each of the 12 months.

Saint Surdas is attributed with the composition of the Barahmasa song.
