Sagas of Devotion are folk ballads sung in praise of deities whose lives embody sacrifice, faith, and compassion. Among the most revered are the tales of Dharmaraj and his devotees—Jyoti, Andumali, Beni Panjiyar, and Hariya—whose courage, sacrifice, and devotion to their people earned them divine status as lokdevata. The singers, known as Bhagaits, believe their songs bring peace and prosperity to both performer and listener, and that the lokdevata remain spiritually present during the performance. The Bhagait tradition is popular in Mithila as well as in rural Nepal and West Bengal.
