Development
Originally, the film's producer Bhalji Pendharkar had planned for Yogesh to write the lyrics for the song. However, Pendharkar decided to personally write the songs for the film instead. He approached Jagdish Khebudkar, providing detailed descriptions of the scene he envisioned. The song was meant to depict a hardworking blacksmith and his wife expressing gratitude to God. Initially titled "Airaneechya Deva Tula Aginphule Vahu De", the lyrics were changed during the recording session to "Airaneechya Deva Tula Thingi Thingi Vahu De". In Marathi, both 'Aginphule', and 'Thingi' symbolize 'spark'.Credits
