Page 2 of 3 In the morning on Lohri day, children go from door to door singing and demanding the Lohri 'loot' in the form of money and eatables like til (sesame) seeds, peanuts, jaggery, or sweets like gajak, rewri, etc. They sing in praise of Dulha Bhatti, a Punjabi avatar of Robin Hood who robbed the rich to help the poor, and once helped a miserable village girl out of her misery by getting her married off like his own sister.In praise of Dhulla Bhati they sing a song. Sundar Mundariye.... Tera kaun vichara..ho Dulla Bhatti walla..ho Dulle ne ti viahiyi..ho Saer Shakar payi..ho Kudi de boje payee..ho Shallu kaun samete..ho Chacha galee dese..ho Chache choori kutee..ho Zamindaran lutee..ho Zamindara sidaye..ho Gin-gin pole layee..ho Ik pola reh gaya..ho Sipahi farh ke lei gaya..ho Aakho mundao taana.. Mukai da dana.. Aana lei ke jana.. |
