Jate

Traditionally women folk in the house used to get together around the Jata (stone flour mills) in the afternoons & grind the wheat & rice flour at home for their daily needs. I have even heard that there used to be specific 2-4 liner verses called “Ovi” to be sung while doing this job. These unwritten legacies would be handed down generations of women in the family orally. The Ovis were not just religious Bhajans but also fun catchy songs about saas-bahu conflicts & more..!
