The festival of Cheti Chand, also known as Jhulelal Jayanti, is here. The auspicious occasion is celebrated by Sindhi Hindus on the first day of the Sindhi month of Chet. It falls on the second day of Chaitra Shukla Paksha and is believed to be the birthday of Jhulelal, the patron saint of Sindhis. It also marks the arrival of spring and the harvesting season.
Cheti Chand is celebrated as the birthday of Ishtadeva Uderolal, also known as Jhulelal. According to legends, Sindhis believe that Uderolal was born in 1007 after they prayed to the Hindu God Varun Devon. They prayed to the Lord on the banks of the River Indus to save them from being persecuted by Muslim king Mirkshah. It is believed that the River God told the people that a divine child would be born in Nasarpur, who came to be known as Saint Jhulelal, and he will save them from the tyrant.
The Sindhis celebrate Cheti Chand by praying to the God of water to protect them from forced conversions. The festival is marked by observing a fast, making offerings, and praying to the God of water. People worship near water bodies, such as rivers, lakes, and ponds by lighting Jyot Jagan (a diya made of wheat flour with five wicks) and taking Behrana Sahib, an offering consisting of an oil diya, cardamom, sugar, fruits, and Akho. The Behrana Sahib is immersed in the water, and Pallav is sung to receive blessings from the Lord.
