लट उलझी सुलझा जा बालम : तीज मुबारक !
तीज मुबारक ! Greetings for Teej,
Enjoy with some special Teej music.
Here is a classic in Raag Bihag, लट उलझी सुलझा जा रे बालम. The text, which has been renderred in Hindustani Khayal form by several stalwarts, is often ascribed to the folk tradition. Radha ji invites Neelambar Prabhu to solve her tangled tresses, since her hands are decorated with Mehendi, a perfect one for Teej!
