Essence
Ramaul
is a famous ballad about the Ramaul brothers
Sidhwa and Bidhwa. This excerpt is a celebration
of the birth of the boy Bala Shri Nath in their
house and how their sister-in-law Rajuli comes
to meet them. They have been sleeping for twelve
years and don't wake up. Angry, she curses them
and leaves.
