Kajari

Kajari (Bhojpuri: 𑂍𑂔𑂩𑂲) also spelled Kajri is a traditional folk song and dance form originating from the Bhojpuri region of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India. It is a semi-classical music genre within the broader tradition of Hindustani classical music, typically performed during the monsoon season (late June to September), when the lush greenery reappears and agricultural activities resume. The term Kajari is derived from the word kaajar (or kohl), symbolizing the dark, rain-laden clouds that characterize the monsoon, often associated with beauty and longing in the songs' imagery.
