#Ghoomar Songs

[exoexid]

recently found out i love studying as i listen to bollywood songs and in retrospective that's so bizarre 😭😭😭 bit it's fun it gives me so much energy :-)

[hum-budbak-hai]

While scrolling I suddenly saw that someone was actually claiming that "sanjay leela bhansali is not a good director".

Bhai ap ek kaam kijiye, aap mumbai jaiye jake SLB ji se baat kijiye. Aur unse kaam mangiye. Aabh aap puchenge ki kaunsa kaam. Aap unse "personal adviser" ka kaam mangiye. Aapka kaam ek ghanta bhi nahi rahega janab.

That dumbo even said that "people started glorifying jauhar" bhai apka dimag ghutno pe hai kya? Alauddin Khalji Rani Padmavati ko apaharan karne wala tha.. Since he already won the war, Rani Padmavati understood that there is no other way to survive knowing Khalji had a huge lust for girls. She didnot had the urge to get physical abuse and die in the hands of a brutal person. That is the reason why she performed "jauhar". And you are talking about glorification? lemme explain. People glorified jauhar because it was no doubt a challenging work but she was not scared. Her bravery was glorified.

Now Heeramandi, Tawaiffs are like modern day Posh Prostitutes. And Tawaiffs were prostitutes. They used to dance, sing and after that they gave sexual pleasures to those rich men. Bro they are also human being. They need love as well. Again here Tawaiffs were not glorified their emotions were glorified in the series. And the world would die if there is a crisis of Tawaiifs or Prostitutes in the world. And because of these tawaiffs India got to know about kathak and other dance forms. Gajagamini and these types of walks were actually done by Tawaiffs. They were highly cultural. Some people even took there daughters to learn dance from them. They were the most cultural people out there. Kathak and Mujra songs are famous for them.

Bro going around telling that "they have no power" I mean what type of power are you talking about? They had servants because they worked on their own. They didn't had to depend on anyone. And as mallika jaan said that, "chaand kisike banrande mein nahi ata, chaand ko doorse hi dekhna padhta hai". And girls were not wanting their lifes they were wanting this type of posh treatments my dear. Girls want to be treated like queens but they don't want to be tawaiffs. (I have huge respect for tawaiffs) No one wants to be a tawaiff they were forced to do that. And once again GIRLS WANTED THEIR POSH AND RICH LIFESTYLE NOT THEIR LIFESTYLE.

The moral of the story of Heeramandi is, we need to respect everyone in this world even the Tawaiifs and Prostitutes because if they don't exist men will die. And yes I have no shame in telling this that yes men will die.

And one more, They were ROYAL thats why ROYALTY was showcased my dear.

And yes SLB did films which were not royal but they were Royal by heart like "Black" , "Guzarish" and many more. And he has budget my friend. Everytime, he makes a come back after 4 to 5years because he choose projects which will touch the heart of every individual and he showcases Indian Cultural in his creation. That why SANJAY LEELA BHANSALI IS SANJAY LEELA BHANSALI.

Jaipur more than just a destination

A Journey to the Pink City Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is known as the "Pink City" for its stunning pink-colored buildings. This city is a vibrant blend of tradition, art, and modernity. From its grand palaces to colorful bazaars, Jaipur offers a glimpse into India's rich cultural heritage. Let’s explore what makes Jaipur’s culture so unique.

A City Painted in Pink Jaipur earned its nickname in 1876 when Maharaja Ram Singh painted the entire city pink to welcome the Prince of Wales. Pink symbolizes hospitality, and this tradition continues, as many buildings in the old city remain painted in this hue. Walking through Jaipur's streets feels like stepping into a fairytale.

Majestic Palaces and Forts The architecture of Jaipur is a significant part of its culture.

Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds): This iconic structure has 953 small windows, allowing royal ladies to watch street festivities without being seen. Amber Fort: Known for its intricate designs and elephant rides, this fort is a marvel of Rajasthani architecture. City Palace: A blend of Mughal and Rajput styles, this palace showcases Jaipur’s royal heritage. These palaces tell stories of kings, queens, and battles, offering a peek into the city’s glorious past.

3.Traditional Rajasthani Cuisine Food is an essential part of Jaipur’s culture. The city offers a variety of mouthwatering dishes:

Dal Baati Churma: A traditional Rajasthani meal consisting of lentils, baked wheat balls, and sweet crushed wheat. Ghevar: A sweet dish popular during festivals like Teej. Pyaaz Kachori: A spicy onion-filled snack best enjoyed with tamarind chutney. Don’t forget to visit local eateries to enjoy authentic flavors served with love.

Festivals: A Riot of Colors Jaipur celebrates festivals with great enthusiasm.

Teej Festival: Women dress in green sarees and sing traditional songs to celebrate the monsoon. Jaipur Literature Festival: Known as the "greatest literary show on Earth," it attracts writers and thinkers from around the world. Elephant Festival: Held during Holi, this unique festival showcases beautifully decorated elephants, traditional dances, and games. Each festival highlights Jaipur's joyous and inclusive spirit.

Vibrant Handicrafts and Shopping Jaipur is a shopper’s paradise, offering beautiful handicrafts and textiles.

Jewelry: Jaipur is famous for its Kundan and Meenakari jewelry. Block-Printed Fabrics: You can find colorful saris and bedsheets made using traditional techniques. Blue Pottery: This unique craft is a Jaipur specialty, featuring beautiful designs on ceramics. Bazaars to Visit: Johari Bazaar, Bapu Bazaar, and Tripolia Bazaar are must-visits for a truly local shopping experience.

Dance, Music, and Folklore Rajasthani folk music and dance are integral to Jaipur's culture.

Ghoomar Dance: Performed by women in swirling skirts, this dance is a celebration of grace. Kalbeliya Dance: Known as the "snake charmer dance," it reflects the lifestyle of the Kalbeliya community. Folk Music: Instruments like the dholak, sarangi, and ektara create melodies that tell tales of love, war, and devotion. These performances are often seen during festivals and cultural evenings in Jaipur.

Warm Hospitality and Traditions The people of Jaipur are known for their warm and welcoming nature. Hospitality is deeply rooted in their culture, and visitors often feel like part of a big family. Respect for elders, vibrant attire, and traditional customs make Jaipur’s culture even more endearing.

8.Preservation of Heritage in Modern Times While Jaipur embraces modernity with luxury hotels and malls, it remains deeply connected to its roots. The city has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, highlighting its efforts to preserve its historical and cultural legacy.

9.Plan Your Visit If you’re planning a trip to Jaipur, take time to explore its palaces, taste its food, shop in its markets, and join in its festivals. Every corner of the city tells a story, waiting to be discovered.

Jaipur’s culture is a beautiful tapestry of history, art, and tradition. Whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, or an art lover, the Pink City promises to leave you enchanted.

Are you ready to experience the magic of Jaipur?

I saw your post about songs that fuck with your brain chemistry -- any recommendations...? 👀

Yes ill always recommend hindi and bangla songs 💥💥💥

Hindi —

literally anything by r.d. burman honestly, but i remember the main ones i absolutely loved when i was smaller (i had awesome taste in music. Trust) — kya hua tera vada, gulabi akhen (please please listen to this one please pleas eplease), tere bina zindagi se (this is meh but like. i was obsessed with it so.), chura liya hai tumne jo dil ko (also please please please listen to this i love this so much forveee), meri bheegi bheegi si, dilbar mere

I'm not sure if these are by rd burman as well but FUCK these are so good 💥💥💥 — salame-ishq meri jaan, o saathi re (i prefer asha's ver, but kishore kumar is awesome too), khaike paan banaras wala, pal pal dil ke pas (my brother liked this more than me), yeh dosti, dum maro dum, phulo ka taro, pairody song (specifically look up mr india pairody song literal banger im telling you), hawa hawaii

Another paragraph break so it's easy for me — yeh mera dil yaar ka diwana, beqarar karke hamen yun na jaiye, mehbooba mehbooba (there's a new one but the SUCKS . Trust . Meh booba sholay, also by rd burman), bach ke rehna re baba, jhoomka gira re (theres a new version called kya jhumka and that sucks okay), kiki ki muskurahaton pe, jaane woh jaise log the, aa chal ke tujhe mei leke chalu

comparatively more recent — ik bagal, ranaji, azadi (im pretty sure there are many songs with this name, so specifically azadi gully boy 👍👍), namak, beedi, panga, mehboob mere, ghoomar, pinga, train song (also from gully boy), kab se kab tak, jahaan to chala, chikni chameli (this changed lives . Trust), nagada sang dhol baje, zoobi doobi

Also ANYTHING gulzar wrote, FUCKING banger

Bangla —

ANYTHING MANNA DEY SANG . ALSO SUMAN . Um i always thought it was suman chaterjee but apparently it's suman chattopadhyay . but also i have favourites so :))) — se amar choto bon, coffee houser sei addata aaj aar nei, hoyto tomari janya (most of these are my brother's recs because i listen to bangla songs less than he does), ghurche chaka, amader jonyo, pagol, haal chherona bondhu, petkati chandiyal, bose aanko

^ sent by my brother

ALSO EVERYTHING BY TAGORE . RABINDRANATH TAGORE . SO AWESOME — jodi tor daak shune keo na ashe (also called ekla cholo re), ami banglay gaan gai, hridmajhare rakhbo, fagunero mohonay, neel digante oi phuler agun, gram chara oi ranga matir poth, ore bhai phagun legeche bone bone, amra shobai raja, projapoti projapoti (this is a children's song but it's good and you will listen to it.), phagun hawaye hawaye,

not rabindrasangeet (what we call tagore's songs) — gouri elo dekhe jalo, majhi tor radio nai, not bengali (it's assamese) but SUCH a banger — kapili kapili

I have more songs but i forgor

[pjo-tvs-version]

this is a question i like to ask to many people:

if a foreigner who has no relation to India at all came to you and asked for a song that was basically an introduction to Indian music, and you wanted to impress them into listening to more Indian music, what is the first song you would recommend to them, not based on what you like but what they would probably like as someone with no knowledge of Indian culture?

Oh this is such a good question! This is soo very difficult to decide because Indian music is soo very diverse and it has its set of eras. This was hard very hard but I narrowed it down to 'Ghoomar' from the movie 'Padmavat' sung by the magical Shreya Ghoshaln. You should see the music video too and the it is very very melodious. It's a classic which I feel almost everyone enjoys. I know you said only 1 song anon but I can't stop myself without mentioning a few others (forgive me)

Pappu can't dance(Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na)

Gallan Godiyan (Dil Dhadkne Do)

Tum hi Ho (Aashiqui 2)

Kun Faya Kun (Rockstar)

Lat Gayi (Race 2)

Iktara (Wake Up Sid)

I can go on but I have to stop myself here. You have no idea how much I loved answering this ask! Thank you so much for it and I hope that you enjoy these songs.

What do you say @helpallthenamesaretakenblog?

[laurikarauchscat]

1, 21, 26 for the soft asks game 😊

Thank you so much for the ask! I will retaliate 😜

1 - what song makes you feel better? At the moment it's Ghoomar. No idea how this happened. I don't even watch Bollywood movies.

21 - if you could tell your past self one thing, what would it be? In the town where I grew up, I had two high schools to choose from. One was the incredibly religious sister school of the equally religious school I was already in. The other was a secular school with an art program, great swim coaches and (le gasp😱) two gay teachers. If I could, I'd go back to my past self and stop her from going to the religious school just because all of the other girls in her grade was going there, and because it seemed more familiar.

26 - what movie would you want to live in? Barbie: Fairytopia

[pyolore]

The town is calm and peaceful throughout the year, but during Holi, it transforms into a lively hub of colors, music, and dance.

When is Pushkar’s Holi Celebrated?

Timing of the Festival

Holi in Pushkar is usually celebrated in March or April, depending on the lunar calendar. The main festivities take place on the day after the full moon, which marks the arrival of Phagun Purnima, the day of Holi.

The Build-Up to Holi

The excitement for Pushkar Holi starts days before the actual celebration. The local shops start selling colored powders, and the streets are lined with decorations. The buzz around the town grows as the day of Holi nears, and the festive spirit fills the air.

What Makes Pushkar’s Holi Unique?

The Holy Fire of Holika Dahan

One of the most significant rituals in Pushkar’s Holi celebrations is the Holika Dahan, the burning of the effigy of Holika, which symbolizes the victory of good over evil. This tradition is celebrated the night before Holi. People gather around the bonfire, singing traditional songs and dancing around the flames, as the fire symbolizes the removal of negativity and the welcoming of a new beginning.

Since the streets will be filled with color, it’s best to wear old clothes that you don’t mind getting stained. White clothes are often preferred, as the colors appear more vibrant on them. Don’t forget to wear comfortable shoes, as you’ll be walking and dancing around a lot.

Protect Your Skin and Eyes

While playing with colors, it’s essential to take care of your skin and eyes. Use a good quality sunscreen to protect yourself from the harsh sun, and apply some oil or Vaseline to your hair and skin to make it easier to wash off the color later. Always use goggles or sunglasses to protect your eyes from the colored powders.

Stay Hydrated and Safe

Holi can be intense, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. The excitement and physical activity can leave you feeling thirsty, so stay hydrated to avoid exhaustion. It’s also important to avoid excessive drinking to keep the celebration fun and safe.

If you’re wondering what to do after the sun sets in the desert, exploring the best desert camps in Jaisalmer will give you an unforgettable experience. Here’s a comprehensive guide to enjoying the finest evening entertainment in Jaisalmer’s desert camps.

The Magical Atmosphere of Desert Nights

When night falls in the desert, the atmosphere transforms. What was a sunny, golden landscape by day becomes a cool, moonlit oasis. The sense of tranquility that envelops the desert at night is hard to describe but easy to fall in love with. Desert camps in Jaisalmer make the most of this transition, offering a variety of evening entertainment options to ensure every visitor leaves with a memory they’ll cherish forever.

Traditional Rajasthani Folk Performances

One of the highlights of Jaisalmer’s desert nightlife is the traditional Rajasthani cultural performances. Many desert camps feature local musicians and dancers who perform around a campfire, allowing guests to experience the rich heritage of the region. These performances often include traditional dance forms like Kalbeliya and Ghoomar, accompanied by soulful Rajasthani folk songs played on instruments like the dholak, ektara, and the soulful sound of the Ravanahatha.

For those staying at luxury camps like Sam Sand Dunes or Khuri Village, the shows are more elaborate, with performers donning vibrant attire, spinning in intricate patterns, and pulling you into the rhythm of the desert night. This immersive cultural experience is a major draw for visitors who want to understand the true spirit of Rajasthan.

Bonfire Evenings Under the Starlit Sky

Another key attraction of Jaisalmer’s desert camps is the bonfire evenings. Nothing compares to the warmth of a cozy campfire as you sit back, sip on traditional masala chai, and listen to local tales. Some desert camps offer storytelling sessions, where local guides share ancient folk stories and legends that have been passed down through generations.

These moments of simplicity, where you gaze at the starlit sky and feel the cool desert breeze, are among the most cherished experiences. Whether you are with friends, family, or on a romantic getaway, bonfire evenings are sure to create memories that last a lifetime.

Camel Safaris and Sunset Views

This is a magical way to explore the dunes as the sun sets, casting a warm orange hue over the sands. The sunset views from the top of the dunes are breathtaking and make for incredible photo opportunities.

After a thrilling camel safari, you can return to your camp to freshen up and prepare for a night of traditional entertainment. Some camps also offer jeep safaris at night, adding a sense of adventure to your desert experience.

Luxury camps often have buffet-style dinners with a variety of dishes, while smaller camps might offer a more intimate, family-style dining experience. No matter the camp, expect to enjoy a meal that complements the rich cultural performances and cozy desert ambiance.

Stargazing in the Desert

One of the unique aspects of spending a night in the desert is the unparalleled opportunity for stargazing. Far from the city’s lights, the clear desert sky is a canvas dotted with countless stars. Many desert camps in Jaisalmer provide telescopes for visitors, allowing you to observe constellations, planets, and even the Milky Way. This is a serene activity that contrasts with the vibrant cultural performances, offering a peaceful moment of reflection under the vast night sky.
