Telugu devotional songs, also known as "Bhajans" or "Kirtanas," have a rich history dating back to the 10th century. The great Telugu poet and saint, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, composed several devotional songs in Telugu, which are still sung today. These songs were later followed by other prominent saints and poets, such as Annamacharya, Tyagaraja, and Muthuswamy Dikshitar, who composed soul-stirring devotional songs in Telugu.
