In Mithila, chumāon is an integral part of almost every rite of passage. From birth-related ceremonies to marriage, the custom of chumāon has long been observed. The ritual embodies the deep sentiment of elders’ blessings. In this wedding song, friends joyfully announce that today Raghubar’s chumāon is taking place. Mother Kaushilya has already swept and decorated the courtyard until it shines, and the lyrics vividly describe the other preparations for the ceremony. Sages and seers have also arrived from far and wide to bless the newly married couple.
