MUMBAI: Few devotional songs hold as much cultural resonance in Maharashtra as “Sukhkarta Dukhharta.” Composed in the 17th century by the saint Samarth Ramdas, the aarti has for centuries marked the beginning of Ganpati celebrations. Its words — “bringer of happiness, remover of sorrow” — have echoed through homes, pandals, and Mumbai’s bustling visarjan processions, uniting communities in rhythm and devotion.
This Ganesh Chaturthi, the hymn takes on a new dimension with India’s first AI band, Trilok, releasing their own version. The reinterpretation pays homage to the spirit of the aarti while introducing a modern sonic layer that connects with today’s audiences.
As culture and technology increasingly intersect, this release aims to show that even centuries-old traditions can find new life and meaning in the digital age.
