Avale Bismillah (Baithi damal ritual song)
Avale Bismillah is part of the Baithi Damal. This long devotional song leads up to a description of Bava Gor crossing the Indian ocean and gathering joy and rapture from the waves to give to his followers. Composed by the late Murjan Sidi Nangasi it is mostly in Urdu. Bava Gor is the saint who is worshipped by the Sidis, and often referred to as Pir Bava Gor.
