Ghughuti Ghuron Lagi Myara Mait Ki
The song “घुगुती घुरोण लगी” (Ghughuti Ghuron Lagi) is an emotional tribute to a married woman’s nostalgia for her maternal home. As she hears the call of the ghughuti (hill pigeon), she reflects on the arrival of Chait (March-April), a time that evokes memories of her childhood and family. The imagery of melting snow and blooming flowers enhances her longing, reminding her of her parents and siblings who will soon visit.
In her thoughts, she envisions her father waiting with a sense of melancholy, her mother eagerly anticipating their return, and her brother bringing good news. This longing for familial connection and the joy of reunions emphasize the strong bonds of love and tradition in her life. The song beautifully encapsulates the emotions tied to home and family, resonating with anyone who has experienced similar feelings of nostalgia and yearning.

The lyrics express a deep connection to nature, celebrating flowers, the environment, and the emotions that come with the transition of seasons. It reflects the cultural richness of Uttarakhand, making it a cherished piece of the region’s folk heritage.
