Recent natural disasters and the tragedy of flooding have shaken the daily lives of Bihar residents. Against this backdrop of crisis, a new Bhojpuri song titled 'Baadh Mein Bihar, Chhathi Maiya Khevanhar' has been released, conveying the pain, helplessness of the people, and their unwavering faith in Sheshthi Maiya. The song was performed by actress and singer Aksra Singh.
The singer Manoj Bhauk wrote the lyrics, which describe the suffering of families, the destruction of crops, and the daily hardships caused by this disaster using very simple yet touching words. The central theme of the composition is the people's plea to divine powers such as Durga Maiya and Sheshthi Maiya to save Bihar during this festive and religious period.
After its release, the song quickly gained popularity on social media, with fans actively expressing their support. One fan noted that it was a 'very beautiful performance' and thanked Aksra Singh for the song about the disaster in Bihar, stating that the song touched him to the core. Another user shared that the song brought tears to his eyes.
The special significance of this song is highlighted by the fact that Aksra Singh personally visited the affected areas of Bihar during the flood to help the victims. Thanks to her personal observation and experience of people's pain, Aksra's voice acquired a special emotional strength.
Manoj Bhauk has previously created many popular folk and Chhath songs dedicated to migration, population displacement, and social problems in Bihar, including 'Palayan Ke Dard', 'Sun Ae Chhathi Maiya', and 'Jaage UP-Bihar'. The new track 'Baadh Mein Bihar, Chhathi Maiya Khevanhar', released by Harmonia Records, is a continuation of this sensitive creative line, effectively combining the pain of the natural disaster, the feelings of local life, and unwavering hope amidst the crisis.
