कब गाया जाता है: Night bhajan sessions, death anniversaries, the annual fair at the samadhi. Carried by bhajan mandalis across Khandwa, Khargone and Barwani. The Singaji fair in Bhadrapad is where the parties meet.
Gauri's marriage, her wait, and her return to her mother's house — sung by women in procession to the water where the images are immersed.
कब गाया जाता है: The eighteen Gangaur days after Holi.
Praise of the river as mother, and the walkers' own songs — largely about distance, feet and hospitality, which is what a three-year walk is actually about.
कब गाया जाता है: Evening at the ghats; on the walking route.
Courtship, teasing and the market itself, sung over dhol and mandal in a circle that runs for hours without a fixed end.
कब गाया जाता है: The week of markets before Holi.
The full wedding cycle — arrival, teasing of the groom's party, the turmeric rite and the departure — sung by women of both households in alternation.
कब गाया जाता है: Weddings.
Krishna and the gopis, and the seasonal licence to sing what cannot be said the rest of the year.
कब गाया जाता है: Phalgun, up to Holi.
The same Kabir repertoire the plateau sings, in the valley's own vocabulary — evidence that the scarp divides the dialect and not the religion.
कब गाया जाता है: Night sittings and satsang.
