=======================================================
Bhitauli festival of Kumaon
For the married women, the month of Chaitra has special significance. They feel great psychological attachment for Chaitra Mash, as they are remembered by their brothers and parents who offer them presents called Bhitauli. They patiently wait for the arrival of this month. A Kumaoni song depicts their feelings
Ni Ghughuti (bird) Chait ki;
Mikoon narwai lagi Chait ki.basa
नि घुघूती चैत की,
मिकूं नरवाई लगी चैत की बसा
‘This year so far I have not heard the melody of singing Ghughuti. I remember the month of Chaitra very much’.
Ghughuti Bird (Rufous turtle dove)
A family which is fortunate to have brothers, sisters and others express their sentiments in the following way.
Derani jithaani ka ijoo, main bhetuli lyangay we;
Bojyu myara sunla, angiya maulala we,
Iju meri sunli, bhai bhetu lagali we.
दिरानी जेठानी का इजू, भै भैटुली ल्वेंगे वे;
बौज्यू मेरा सुनला, अंगिया मौलाला वे ,
इजू मेरी सुणली भै भैटू लगाली वे
The sister without any brother laments:
Ichali kanyali ijoo, ghughuti ghurailee;
Bin bhaiya ki banuwan, anshu jai dawelee we.
इचाली कन्याली इजू, घुघूती घुरैली;
बिन भैया की बैनुवा, आंसू जै ढवेली वे
The Ghughuti bird flies from field to field and the girl remembers her brother. But the girl has no brother, hence she sings as above.
Ghughuti Bird
The folk song contains blessings to the daughters and also welcome the New Year called Nav Samvastshar.
जो भागी जियाला इजू,
नौ ऋतू सुनौलौ वे, अबावे य दिन य मास;
जुग जुगा भेटी आला
