Mumbai: Popular singers Sonu Nigam and Malini Awasthi have teamed up for "Ram Ke Hriday Mein", a devotional song composed by Grammy winner Ricky Kej.
Billed as a "tribute to Lord Ram's return to Ayodhya", the song was released on YouTube days before the consecration ceremony to be held at the Ram temple on Monday.
The 3.54-minute track is the title song of author Amish Tripathi's upcoming documentary "Ram Janmabhoomi: Return of a Splendid Sun".
Kej shared the link of "Ram Ke Hriday Mein" on his official Instagram account on Saturday.
"A tribute to Lord Ram's return to Ayodhya. Sung by @sonunigamofficial @maliniawasthi composed by @rickykej. 'From Ram Janmabhoomi: Return of a Splendid Sun' documentary by @authoramish," the award-winning composer wrote.
Tripathi thanked Kej for creating the song for his documentary.
