Sobane padagalu or wedding songs are sung by women during the various stages of a wedding. These songs often equate the bride and groom to Sita and Rama of Ramayana or Rukmini and Krishna of Mahabharata. Hence most of the descriptions are mythical in nature. In this song, the bride is described in detail. Her beauty, clothes, and jewelry are compared to those of Sita of the epic Ramayana. It is sung during the bride’s homecoming. The groom’s sister stops the bridal pair at the door, letting them enter only after receiving a gift from the groom.

This is a Jhyaure melody played at various festivals by the people living on the outskirts of the Kathmandu Valley. It describes the beauty of the women wearing jewelry and other ornaments.\nInstruments: maadal, saarangi, baansuri, jhamtaar
