The Holy Festival of Chhathh Pujaa is going on at present. This festival is dedicated to ‘Chhathh Maiyyaa’ (Mother Chhathh) and ‘Surya Devta’ (Lord Sun). ‘Chhathh Pujaa’ is one of the biggest festivals of India which was confined to the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and some parts of Uttarakhand in the past. But nowadays now it is observed all over the country whereever people from these states have migrated for job and cannot make it to their native places. Moreover those who have settled elsewhere in India have started to observe it in their new residences instead of going back to their original native places on this occasion.

I cannot but help notice that the festivals of Holi and Deepawali are almost diametrically opposite to each other. They fall six months apart. Holi is observed on Poornima. Deepawali is observed on Amawasya. Holi is celebrated in day time (mostly first half of the day). Deepawali is celebrated at night time. On the day of Holi, roads are deserted. Public transport services that are usually jam packed run empty on this day. During Deepawali, public transport services run overbooked and there is no way one can get accomodation on trains on this day.

Today’s song is from an absolutely unknown film, Laaj-1946.
The film was directed by 3 people – Shehzada Ayyaz, Syed Munawwar and H.Qasim, under the banner of Ayyaz productions, Bombay- probably owned by one of the directors. The music was given by Ramchandra Pal and the cast was Shamim, Radha Rani,Ramesh, H.Prakash, Rajan, Rehana, Master Nissar and others.
I had never heard of this film, let alone seeing it. This was because neither the film nor any of its songs were famous. Even the cast did not boast of any of the famous or popular stars of that time. Only one of the cast members attracted the attention and that was the old time hero Master Nissar.
I tried hard to know more about this film but was not able to get anything. Then I wrote to Shri Harmandir Singh Hamraz ji and he, very kindly, promptly sent me the photograph of the film’s booklet. Thanks to Hamraz ji for this.
