CHAVDAR TALE

Chavdar Tale meaning “tasty water lake” is the historical water tank where in December 1927 Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar started a satyagraha in protest against the tyranny of the upper castes towards the Mang and Mahar castes who were considered untouchables. During this historical event, hundreds of people belonging to the Mang and Mahar castes gathered at the Chavdar Tale and drank water from it. A Kranti Stambh has been erected here to commemorate this revolution.

BHONDALA SONGS- 3

ऐलमा पैलमा गणेशदेवा माझा खेळ मांडून दे करीन तुझी सेवा

गोदावरी काठच्या उमाजी नायका

आमच्या गावच्या भुलोजी बायका

एविनी गा तेविनी गा

आमच्या आया तुमच्या आया खातील काय दुधोंडे

दुधोन्ड्याची लागली टाळी आयुष देरे भामाळी

माळी गेला शेताभाता पाउस पडला येताजाता

पडपड पावसा थेम्बोथेम्बी थेम्बोथेम्बी आडव्या लोंबी

आडव्या लोंबती अंगणा

अंगणा तुझी सात वर्षे भोंडल्या तुझी सोळा वर्षे

आतुल्या मतुल्या चरणी चातुल्या

चरणी चारचोंडे हातपाय खणखणीत गोंडे

एकेक गोंडा विसाविसाचा साड्या डोंगर नेसायचा

नेसा ग नेसा बाहुल्यानो अडीचशे पाव्ल्यानो

BHONDALA SONGS- 1

1) एक लिंबू झेलू बाई दोन लिंबू झेलू

दोन लिंबू झेलू बाई तीन लिंबू झेलू

तीन लिंबू झेलू बाई चार लिंबू झेलू

पाचा लिंबाचा पानोठा

माळ घालू हनुमंता

हनुमंताची निळी घोडी

येता जाता कमळे तोडी

कमळाच्या पाठीमागे ला

अग अग राणी इथे कुठे पाणी

पाणी न्हवे यमुना जमुना

यमुना जमुनाची बारीक वाळू

तेथे खेळे चिल्लार बाळू

चिल्लार बाळाला बुख लागली

नीज रे नीज रे चिलार बाळा

मी तर जाते सोनार वाडा

सोनार दादा  सोनार दादा

गौरीचे मोती झाले का नाही

गौरीच्या घरी तांब्याच्या चुली

भोजन घातले आवळीखाली

उष्ट्या पत्रावळ्या चींचेखाली

पान सुपारी उद्या दुपारी ........

BHONDALA

 The ritual of Bhondla is exclusively ladies celebration that brings an enthusiastic wave among all age groups of women. Everyone gets ready in their festive nine yard sarees, Nath (Nose stud), colourful matching bangles and lots of ornaments including necklaces, armlets and fragrant Gajra on their hair during these days.

Bhondla starts from the first day of Navaratri and it is celebrated till Kojagiri Pournima. Like other Indian festivals Bhondla is connected to the nature and is celebrated after the rains of Hasta Nakshatra that bring good crops. In a way it's a thanks giving ritual to the nature which blesses mankind with prosperity.

A picture of elephant is places in the centre and garland of vegetables and flowers is offered to him. After the ritual of worshipping the deities .Bhondla commences with the prayer song of Ganesha 'Ailama Pailama Ganesh Deva'.

In recent years NGOs in cities organise ladies Maha-Bhondla for all age groups and distribute attractive prizes for their dressing and dance skills. It has become hot favorite among ladies and on the Bhondla evening everyone rushes to the open ground where Bhondla is arranged.
Ladies of all age groups come together and heartily sing, play and try out dance steps on the beats of Bhondla songs. Peppy songs like :

      Ek Limbu Jhelu Bai,

      Karlyachi Bee Per Ga Sune,

      Ailamma Pailamma,

 are very popular till date. Sometimes Bhondla songs are playful and naughty.

 The origin of Bhodla lies in the old customs when girls used to get married in young age. They had to work hard and lead a life restricted with customs and religious restrictions. The fortnight duration Bhondla was the only relief in their life where the young girl could freely play, dance and sing with other girls of her age. In Bhondla songs one can find her expressions about her mother in law, sister in law and husband.
