Maiyan & Suhaag song pack

ਮਾਈਆਂ ਤੇ ਸੁਹਾਗ ਦੇ ਗੀਤ

Blessing-led suhaag for the close family sitting around the vatna ceremony—unhurried, personal and easy to pass between generations.

Where

Before or after vatna, once the immediate family is seated

Who leads

A mother, massi or bhua who knows the family verses

Shape

Blessing → memory → gentle close

Before the first beat

  1. 1Start with blessings while the elders are all present.
  2. 2Name one relation per round so nobody has to remember every variation at once.
  3. 3Leave the most emotional mother-and-daughter song until the ritual is complete.

The singing order

Two complete songs to try

01

Chad ve chaudvin dia chanda

ਚੜ੍ਹ ਵੇ ਚੌਦਵੀਂ ਦਿਆ ਚੰਦਾ

Find a melody

CueOpen with this when the room is settled and the elders are ready.

VoicesGroup 1 calls · Group 2 answers · everyone repeats

ਚੜ੍ਹ ਵੇ ਚੌਦਵੀਂ ਦਿਆ ਚੰਦਾ, ਚਾਨਣ ਕਰੀਂ ਵੇ ਚੁਫੇਰੇ

Chad ve chaudvin dia chanda, chanan kari ve chaufere

Rise, full moon of the fourteenth, and spread your light all around.

VoicesOne confident lead · the room answers the final line

ਲਾਇਆ ਅੰਬ ਬੂਟਾ ਨਾਲੇ ਬੇਰੀਆਂ

Laaya amb boota nale beriyan

You planted a mango tree, with the berry trees beside it.

Families often change the relation named in each round: dada, babul, veera or taaya.
