The lyrics invoke the deity Vitthala, a regional form of Krishna revered in Maharashtra, and reflect themes of devotion and divine vision.

The album Me Vasantrao serves as a tribute to Vasantrao Deshpande, Rahul Deshpande’s grandfather and a prominent figure in 20th-century Hindustani classical and Natya Sangeet traditions. The project features reinterpretations of compositions associated with Vasantrao Deshpande’s repertoire.
