Borgeets are devotional songs composed by the 15th-16th century Assamese saint-poet Srimanta Sankaradeva and his disciple Madhavadeva. These songs are central to the Ekasarana Dharma, a Neo-Vaishnavite movement in Assam. Written in Brajavali, a mixed literary language, Borgeets praise Lord Krishna and narrate his divine acts. They are set to classical ragas and talas and are traditionally performed in Namghars (prayer halls) and Sattras (monasteries).
