Women devotees recite devotional prayers during a dharm-kathā organized by Bhuvneshwari Puri’s Silwasa devotees. While they sing, a professional videographer documents the entire event on camera. Many of the sādhus’ dharm-kathās are filmed by devotees or by professional companies (as is shown here). For this Silwasa event, the filmed kathā was distributed to devotees free-of-charge.
