Returning To Father's Home in Savan
In the month of Savan (Shravana), the bride is supposed to return to her father home, now as an outsider. A song by Shailendra (movie Bandini) expresses this (video search):
अब के बरस भेज भैयाको बाबुल
सावन में लीजो बुलाय रे
लौटेंगी जब मेरे बचपन की सखियाँ
दीजो संदेशा भिजाय रे
This year, father, send my brother,
to come and get me during Savan,
when my childhood friends will also return,
do send a message asking me to come.
This song forms the title of a 2002 film Ab Ke Baras.
