Young Haridasas Continue Tradition as Elders Struggle

In Visakhapatnam, a special group of singers called Haridasas go from street to street singing religious songs during the Sankranti festival.

These songs are a big part of the tradition.

However, many of the older Haridasas are now too sick to continue.

So, their children and grandchildren are stepping in to keep the tradition alive.

These younger Haridasas are also working other jobs because the money from singing isn't enough.

They are learning the songs and trying to keep the tradition going, even though they can't do it full-time like the older generations did.
