फूल्देयी

फूल्देयी छम्मादेयी फूल्देयी छम्मा..
देणी द्वार भरी भकार....
त्यर देहि म्यर देहि बारम्बार...
नमस्कार नमस्कार...

आप सभी को फूल्देयी की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं ....



Phooldeyi is Uttarakhandi New Year. On this day,  kids with flowers in hands go to all nearby houses (in Uttarakhand villages basically; nobody does it in cities!) and sing these lines; they get jaggery/sweets in return. The lines basically mean that may the year be auspicious for you and you always have enough food for yourself and your guests in this year. May their always be friendship between you and us so that we keep greeting (say 'Namaskar' to) each other.
