Backstage Siblings’ Jaipur concert strikes a chord with young audiences

Saturday night transformed the Pink City into a soulful haven as celebrated musical duo Backstage Siblings (Raghav and Prachi) staged their maiden public bhajan jamming show in the city.

Hosted at the Zee Studios auditorium, the two-hour spiritual gathering radiated positivity, enthralling the audience with the beauty and serenity of devotional music.

Creating a deeply spiritual atmosphere with bhajans, Sufi melodies, Kabir dohas and even Bollywood devotional numbers, they led the audience on a musical journey of devotion. The concert drew more than 2,000 attendees, with millennials and Gen Z making up a large share of the crowd.

They opened the evening by invoking Lord Ganesha with Bappa Morya Re, setting the tone for the night. This was followed by popular bhajans such as Ram Aayenge Toh Angana Sajaungi and Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram.

Paying tribute to Lord Shiva, they performed Namo Namo Ji Shankara and Shiv Kailasho Ke Vasi. Blending traditional devotional music with contemporary arrangements, the duo had the young audience enthusiastically chanting Hare Rama Hare Krishna.

Clapping, singing along and swaying with eyes closed, attendees immersed themselves in the evening’s devotional fervour.

Apart from their soulful music, Prachi and Raghav also kept the audience engaged with their light-hearted sibling banter, creating a warm, intimate atmosphere. Bollywood favourites such as Woh Kisna Hai, Mera Piya Ghar Aaya, Wah Wah Ramji, Luk Chup Na Jao Ji and Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi also found a place in the setlist.

As a heartfelt Father’s Day tribute, Raghav asked the audience, “Aap ne last time papa ko ‘I love you’ kab bola tha? I think that’s the most underrated relationship.

Please take out your phones, make a video call, and sing a song together.’” He then dedicated Papa Kehte Hain to fathers, turning the performance into an emotional singalong.‘Great to see so many youngsters at the concert’Bhajan jamming also found enthusiastic support among the older generation.

Deepak Mahajan, a retired banking professional, says, “Spirituality has evolved over the years, and the younger generation is being drawn to it as they discover its true essence. I am happy to see so many young boys and girls attending these sessions and reconnecting with our Sanatan Dharma.”The gathering also brought together entire families across generations. Deepika Vijay, a chartered accountant who came with her parents and her five-year-old daughter, Aadhya, shares, “After hearing so much about it, I was curious to experience it myself. Watching my parents and my little daughter singing and enjoying the bhajans together was truly heartwarming. At least my child is learning to connect with our roots.
