From chanting Mantras on important occasion to folk songs that are hummed by us – India is truly a land that never ceases to amaze and surprise. Indian diverse culture and our rich traditions make for one of the most ancient albeit advanced way of human civilisation. Participants are encouraged to submit loris (lullabies) in their mother tongue but if the participant is conversant in more than one language then they can choose their language of choice. In these loris (lullabies), there should be reference to modern India, the vision of 21st century India and its dreams. Loris (Lullabies) pertaining to patriotism, poems, songs which can be easily recited by mothers in every home to their little children shall be eligible for the contest.
In order to revive this beautiful tradition and with it, preserve the local compositions for generations to come, we are organising a Lori (Lullaby) competition for parents, guardians, and children across India.Įvery Indian is invited to send in their entries here. In a world that is swiftly becoming digital, this wonderful practice and our traditional loris (lullabies) also afford an opportunity to be told afresh – the same age-old stories but told in new formats or new stories told in tune with modern impulses. From Assam’s NisûkāniGēēt, to Tamil Nadu’s Thalattupaatu, and from Gujarat’s Loris (Lullabies) to the Kannada LaaliHaadu – each region has its own way of not just making babies fall asleep but simultaneously educating them about the family values, local culture and practices. More often than not, our loris (lullabies) are written around our local surroundings, nature, local heroes and matters of local historical importance.
Loris (Lullabies) also have their own diversity.
Here, sanskars are inculcated in young children through loris (lullabies) and they are introduced to the culture. Lori (Lullabies) form the earliest memories of our childhood – the most primary forms of storytelling, primarily from a mother to her child but also by grandparents and the entire extended family.
