Bhakti becomes big business

“THE RISE OF large-scale kirtan concerts such as those led by devotional artiste Radhika Das now fill arenas across Indian metros and international destinations, including Dubai and London. Revenue streams mirror those of mainstream concerts— ticket sales, sponsorships, brand activations, and intellectual property monetisation. It is transforming devotional experiences into premium entertainment formats. We are seeing serious capital flow via real estate sponsors like M3M India, state tourism boards, and lifestyle brands are investing at stadium- concert levels because this format delivers what modern brands seek — high emotional engagement, multi-generational reach, and culturally safe environments that build long-term equity, not just visibility,’ said Kulkarni.
