The main objective of Kabir Yatra is to spread the teachings and messages of great saint poets like Saint Kabir, Meera, Bulleh Shah, and Shah Latif to the people. According to Chauhan, Rajasthan has an unmatched tradition of folk music and spirituality. In this, people are not just looking for entertainment but there is also a hint of a deep philosophy in that music. Satsang means company of 'seekers of truth'. Where everyone sings Kabir and Meera together. These songs sung in the streets contain collectivity in themselves, this whole idea is a celebration of the rich tradition of the people. Such places are a beautiful confluence of all types of folk singing streams. It unites all communities without discrimination and also breaks the boundaries of caste and religion. Through these voices we try to understand the rich expression of the folk, because the messages emanating from these songs are important.
