Song Description
Uchati is a courtesy song sung during weddings to welcome and honor guests. In these songs, the women express humility and devotion while praising the status, prosperity, and dignity of the guest. Through affectionate words and light humor, they entertain the guest and encourage them to eat heartily.This particular Uchati song is sung while serving food to the son-in-law. It vividly describes the feast prepared for him—fine rice with arhar dal enriched with ghee, a variety of vegetables, and buffalo-milk curd offered by the sister-in-law. From behind a window screen, the mother-in-law lovingly invites him to enjoy the meal. The song beautifully reflects the warmth, respect, and special honor given to a son-in-law in his in-laws’ home.
