"Ravanhatta" is a hand-made bow string instrument rooted in the folk music traditions of Rajasthan. It is made from bamboo & coconut shell mainly by the artists themselves. Ravanhatta players (who are a vanishing breed) are called "bhopas" and they belong to the Nayak, Bhil or Thori castes of Rajasthan. This is an unplugged recital of an iconic Rajasthani love ballad... live from Meherangarh Fort in Jodhpur.

Kesariya Balam on Rajasthani Folk Instrument Ravanhatta

Ajeeb daastaan hai yeh 
Kahan shuru kahan khatam 
Yeh manzile hai kaunsi 
Na voh samajh sake na hum) 

Strange story it is
Where it started and where it ended
What kind of destiny is this 
Neither he understood nor me

(Yeh roshni ke saath kyoon 
Dhuaan utha chiraag se) 
Yeh khwaab dekhti hoon main 
Ke jag padi hoon khwaab se 

Why did the smoke raise
With the light
I keep dreaming
And now I awaken from my dreams

(Mubaarakein tumhe ke tum 
Kisi ke noor ho gaye)
Kisi ke itne paas ho 
Ke sab se door ho gaye 

Congratulations to u
That u became someone`s love
U are so close to me yet
u became distanced from all

(Kisi ka pyaar leke tum 
Naya jahan basaaoge) 
Yeh shaam jab bhi aayegi 
Tum humko yaad aaoge 

Taking someone love u will
Will create a new life
Whenever this nite comes
I will think of u
