 The first Gujarati feature film is a saint film about the life of Narasinh Mehta (1408-75), played by Master Manhar. Mehta is known for his evocative Prabhatiyan (morning hymns) and especially for his composition Vaishnava jana to ( The Vaishnav is he who knows the pain of others ) made popular by Gandhi, who also adapted the poet s term Harijan (children of god) for the nation s Untouchables. The film adheres to the Gandhian interpretation of Narasinh Mehta s work, avoiding e.g. miracle scenes.
