MUMBAI:  Culture Machine has launched its new digital brand on devotion and spirituality, titled "Om Bhajan Bhakti". The channel explores the spiritual and devotional space by providing unique experiences and learning to viewers.

The content on the channel is beneficial to both learned and laity, as it brings home the main theme in a simple and easy to understand format.
