These all musical channels are so distinct from each other yet so connected that none of them has lost their charm even after these many decades. Devotional and spiritual songs, storytelling of war and mythologies, and prominent emotions of the societies are some of the dominant concepts in Gujarati music.
Bhajan is a devotional song type that includes subcategories like Prabhati, Katari, and Dhol.
Dayro is a classical form where the performer delivers a social or religious message through regional dialect and folk composition.
Natya Sangeet is a definite role of bhavai where music and lyrics are composed to align with the storytelling and dance format of the performance. And the most popular Garba is fast-paced music with spiritual and religious songs to perform Garba dance.

The rich traditional culture of Gujarat has graciously given the most dynamic musical form, and that’s what Gujarati music deliberately talks about.
