Kangra janpad ke nari kendrit lokgeeton ka sangeet ke pariprekshya mein vishleshnatamak adhyayan

Abstract

This is a research study on the women-centric folk songs of Kangra Janapad. Crafted by the women themselves, these songs depict their life stories which cut across the entire life cycle. The study found that the significance of these folk songs goes beyond the belief of modern times, which restricts the impact into the narrow dimension of entertainment and cultural values. On the contrary, this research illustrates that these unique creations portray the essence of a larger context of womanhood and humanity that celebrate life in its eternity. In addition, this rich tradition and heritage add significant values to the socioeconomic, religious, and cultural context of Kangra region of Himachal Pradesh. newline
