puchhū kehan ke nārī ke,

Song Description

This song belongs to the tradition of Kanya Nirikshan (bride inspection). After the wedding procession arrives, the groom is taken to the Kohbar Ghar, where the bride and her sister are seated on the floor and covered with a yellow cloth. The groom is then asked to pick out his bride. The ritual brims with laughter, teasing, and playful banter, all of which come alive in this song. The women poke fun at the groom’s family while playfully challenging him to recognize his beloved—dropping subtle hints along the way to help him identify his bride.
