Emerging from Mumbai in 2015, Abhanga Repost has carved a unique niche by resurrecting centuries-old Marathi abhangs—devotional poems by sants like Dnyaneshwar, Namdev, and Eknath—and infusing them with contemporary rhythms. With drums, guitars, tabla, harmonium, bass, and powerful vocals, they breathe new life into traditional lyrics, engaging younger audiences who crave modern vibrancy alongside spiritual depth.
The band’s lineup includes:
Pratish Mhaske – Lead vocals & rhythm guitar
Ajay Vavhal – Vocals & electric guitar
Viraj Acharya – Vocals, tabla & percussions
Piyush Acharya – Vocals & harmonium
Dushyant Deorukhkar – Vocals & drums
Swapnil Tarphe – Vocals & bass guitar
They blend folk, rock, pop, punk, jazz, reggae, and R&B—releasing albums and singles like Pundalik Varde , Lahanpan Dega Deva, and Omkar Pradhan. With over 700+ live events, including international gigs and mainstream festivals, they have firmly anchored themselves in both devotional and indie music scenes.
Their core mission? To “disseminate the saints’ thoughts in a non‑conventional style,” bringing ancient wisdom into today's cultural conversation.
Honoring their unique blend of bhakti and beats, Abhanga Repost was awarded the prestigious Zee 24 Taas Maharashtra Ratna Award 2025. Presented by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the award celebrates the band’s commitment to reviving spiritual traditions through the language of today’s music.
