Sai Uderolal, popularly known as Jhulelal. So much
has been said
and written about it that it would be superfluous
to repeat the
event. In Sindh the beginning of the new year was
considered Cheti Chand. Some businessmen opened new
account books; many however, did that on the eve of
Diwali. On the full moon day, people used to go to
a river or lake and offer 'Akho' with a pinch of rice
mixed with milk mand flour. If there was no river
or 'Darya', the ritual was performed at a well. Even
Sikhs went to temples or Gurdwaras, because Guru Nanak's
birthday also took place on Purnima.
Jhulelal
and Bahrano is being taken with the folk dance Chej
being performed by males in the presence of Jhulelal,
with typical Sindhi musicians which are nowadays
in a pitiable condition. Various organizations,
institutions celebrate this annual function which
is mostly attended by Sindhis.
