As Heer-Ranjha, Sohni-Mahiwal and Sheerin-Farhad are famous, similarly the flowers of love were fed in the sandy ground, Dhola and Maru. Even today, in Rajasthan, the new bride and groom couple call the couple of Dhola-Maru. The word Dhola has become synonymous with husband and lover.

Watch a song from Singer B Pra Prak, which he sang for the film Sher Shah ….

Chup Mahi is silent
Said how they don’t go
Said how they don’t go
Come come

They my dhola ni aaya dhola
They my dhola ni aaya dhola
Rab is also a game,
Rose Lagwe Fair

In this song, the word Dhola is used in the synonym of lover. Well, return on the love story of Dhola-Maru. The love story of Dhola-Maru, one of the folklore of Rajasthan, is told about the eighth century. The story is such that, King Nal of Narwar had a son, the name was Dhola. Although his name was Shalkukumar, but in childhood, the mother named the Rajkumar by killing him with a goal.

Kaun Dhola- Who Maru
Dhola was married to Maruvani, the daughter of King Pingal of Pungal State of Bikaner in childhood. Then Dhola was only three years old and Maru was just one and a half years old. Now got married, the boys returned to their kingdom and Maru was stopped in Pihar due to childish and it was decided that he would be bid farewell to him if he is intelligent. Years and years started passing this matter. Meanwhile, there was a famine in Pingal and it was found that the whole state was dispersed.

Dhola gets second marriage
Many years of this thing passed away. When Dhola became a young man, he was married to another. Dhola was almost forgotten about the marriage in childhood, but his wife came to know about Dhola’s marriage from somewhere and it was also learned that Pingal Raja had gone somewhere else due to famine, his family is still alive and Maru is so beautiful that there is no seven countries like him.

Dhola’s wife used to kill those who brought messages
On the other hand, the family members of Maru sent many messages to get off to King Narwar, but due to the burning sensation, Dhola’s wife used to get the messengers on the border of Narwar every time and she did not allow a single message to reach the king or Dhola. One day Maru saw in a dream that someone was calling her, but she could not see her face. This call filled with love, Maru, who was disabled, requested to send a message from his father Pingal to Dhola again.

Raja Pingal planned to send a message
This time King Pingal thought that there should be someone who takes the message, who has not given the message and did not even feel that he is giving any message. Then the king chose a clever Dholi for this work and a dancer also went with him. Dholi moved forward narrating the song on the beat of Dhol and the dancer realized those songs with beautiful dances. In this way, both reached Narwar after a long journey of seven months.

This time no messenger had come, if it came, then Dholi and were together, then the soldiers of Dhola’s wife did not stop both of them and on the contrary, they became happy to listen to their songs. In this way, Dholi and dancer reached near the king’s mansion.

When Dholi was leaving for Narwar, Maruvani called him to him and made a couplet in Maru raga and explained how to go in front of Dhola and sing it. Dholi (singer) had promised to Maruvani that if he was living, he would definitely bring Dhola and could not bring it, then he died.

How did the clever Dholi narrate the message?
After becoming a clever dholi yacht, somehow reached the palace of Dhola in Narwar and then he started singing in a loud voice as soon as night. That night was cloudy, lightning was shining in the dark night and in the calm atmosphere of rain showers, Dholi started singing in Malhar raga. In such a pleasant season, the sweet music of Dholi’s Malhar Raga started buzzing in the ears of Dhola and Dhola started listening to the songs of Dholi with great heart. Then Dholi sang in clear words –

“Dhola Narwar Serians, Dhan Pungal Galiyanh”

As soon as he heard the pulay in the song, Dhola’s head started blowing. He heard this name something and started going to go. His heart started to suffer. He gave a voice to Dholi and said- sing and sing… Then Dholi and dancer sang by putting high terms.

Kesariya Balma … Avo Ni, Padhar Mhare Des

Three Ratan Nipje in Maru Thare Des
Ek Dhola, Doji Maruvan, Teejo Kasumal Color

Saffron Su Pag La La Dhowati, Ghare Ji ..
Hey Saffron Su Pag La La Dhowati, Ghare Ji ..

And what should I do to do every moment
Padhar mhare des, come on my country
Saffron Balam Aao Sa Padhar Mhare Des

On hearing this, Dhola remembered his Maru, his in -laws Pingal and his love. He immediately rode on a fast running black camel, reached Pingal and brought Maru off. However, his union was still not easy. On the way from Narwar to Pingal, Dhola had to go through many conflicts, which is described in detail in the folklore of Dhola-Maru, rather these entire folklore is in a similar lyrical style, in which words are given to every struggle of Dhola-Maru.

See a hallmark of this, how Dholi from Pingal is telling the beauty of his princess Maru.
Akhdia Dambar Bhai, Nayan Gamaya Roya,
Why in Sajan Pardes, Rahya Bindana Hoy.

Dholi is saying, the eyes have turned red, and if the situation remains the same, they will also get split in a few days. This is just because Maru’s Sajan has become alienated by going to Pardes.

J Thun Sahiba na Yuo, Sankan first Teej.
Beejal Tane Jhabukdai, Find Marsi Care.

Dholi says, O Shalwakumar Dhola, listen … If you do not go before the Teej of Sawan, then the poor Maru is now going to die after seeing the glow of lightning. Your Maru cannot be described. She is such a woman who gets very virtuous deeds and whose good fortune is described in the men.

Now Dholi is singing and telling how it is, see its hallmark.

Namani, Khamani, Bahuguni, Sukomali Sukchh,
Gori Ganga Neer Ju, Man Garvi Tan Good.

There is many qualities, humble, forgiveness, sukomal, gauri like Ganga water, proud, and his mind and body are superior.

Speed ​​gaye, thigh kel grab, kehar jimi kati lank,
Heer Dasan Viprabha Adhar, Marvan Bhrakuti Mayank.

He has a move -like trick, diamonds like teeth, corals are beautiful lips. Your Maruvani’s lions are like a moon, there are eyebrows like moon.

Aadita hoon ojlo, maruni mukh bran,
Jhinam cloth paranan, as tableau.

Marvani’s mouth is also bright than the sun and the body shines from velvet clothes as if gold is peeping.

Kesariya Balam is like a welcome anthem in the ‘Heritage’ event
Bagore’s mansion is present on the banks of Lake Pichola in Udaipur, the city of lakes. This mansion is one of the heritage of the Western region of the Western region and the biggest thing is that this mansion is working to keep the tradition of folk music of Rajasthan alive. For tourists coming to Udaipur, this is a means of being close to the mansion culture.

‘Gateway to understand the culture of the desert’

Every evening cultural presentations are organized here for an hour. Which is identified as ‘Heritage’. Heritage director Deepak Dixit says that this program has been organized here for the last 25 years and its initial anthem is ‘Kesariya Balam’. While presenting this song, a glimpse of the story of Dhola-Maru is seen in just 2 to three minutes.

Actually, this song is the identity of the boiled sand of the desert and without its Rajasthani culture, it seems incomplete. However, he also states that not only ‘Kesariya Balam’ is the identity of Rajasthan, but also in Rajasthan, every region has different and very rich culture. Nevertheless, the song ‘Kesariya Balam’ is also a means of opening the door to Rajasthani culture.

The song of Mand style is ‘Kesariya Balam’
Today it is like a welcome song for those who want to know and understand Rajasthani civilization and culture. This is a song of Mand style. Understand that there is ‘Mann Ki Baat’. This style includes Navas. Many times Virha becomes its main juice, but in it, Shringar, Veer, Karun, Rudra Adi Ras also come according to the need. When to start the beginning of this style, it is like a question, yet the matter reaches the eighth-ninth century.

By the way, its beginning should be considered as old as old marriage tradition and farewell to daughters. Or as old, as old as there is love and viraha in the world, or since the wars started and the warriors were sent away from homes to go to the battlefield.

Saffron Balam folk song has become a song of honor of those Rajput warriors who returned to their homes from war. This song of his bravery, sacrifice and traditions makes Gauravagan, but in reality Kesariya Balam’s inspiration is the love story of Dhola-Maru, where Maru’s separated lover returns home and then he gets it. However, in the case of Virah, the condition of Maru and all the women whose lovers and husband have gone to war. The story of Dhola-Maru and Kesariya Balam song is the symbol of love as well as the results of the war of war, who have been immortal for centuries and will continue to be ahead.
