Legend of Jhulelal (Cheti Chand)

The story behind Cheti Chand revolves around the life and teachings of Jhulelal, who is revered as the savior of the Sindhi community. According to legend, during a time of religious persecution and turmoil, Jhulelal appeared as a divine child on the banks of the Indus River. He was sent by God to protect the Sindhis from the tyranny of Mirkhshah, a tyrant ruler who sought to force his religion upon them.

Jhulelal, also known as Uderolal, preached love, tolerance, and harmony among people of different faiths. He taught the Sindhis to embrace diversity and respect each other’s beliefs. The followers of Jhulelal believe that he miraculously saved them from the clutches of Mirkhshah by calming the raging river and leading them to safety.

Rituals and Traditions of Cheti Chand

Cheti Chand is celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion by Sindhis worldwide. The festivities typically begin with a ritualistic bath in a nearby river or lake before sunrise. This symbolic act represents purification and renewal as individuals wash away their sins and start afresh with the arrival of the New Year.

After the bath, devotees visit temples dedicated to Jhulelal, where they offer prayers and seek his blessings. The temples are adorned with colorful decorations, and the air is filled with devotional songs and chants. Many devotees also observe a fast on this day as a mark of respect and gratitude towards their patron saint.

One of the most prominent features of Cheti Chand celebrations is the procession known as “Baharana Sahib.” This grand parade involves carrying an idol or picture of Jhulelal on a beautifully decorated palanquin. The procession is accompanied by music, dance, and enthusiastic devotees dressed in traditional attire. The streets come alive with vibrant colors and joyous celebrations as people join the procession, singing and dancing to the beats of traditional Sindhi folk music.
