The Powada (Marathi: पोवाडा) is a genre of Marathi poetry emerged during the late 17th century. The powadas are a kind of ballad written in an exciting style and narrate historical events in an inspiring manner. The composer-cum-singers of the powadas are known as Shahirs. The early powadas are mostly composed by the eye-witnesses of the great events celebrated in these ballads.
