{{Indian music|expanded=Territory}}
This type of music originates from [[Rajasthan]], one of the states of [[India]] and home to several important centers of [[music of India|Indian music]]al development, including [[Udaipur, Rajasthan|Udaipur]], [[Jodhpur]] and [[Jaipur]]. The region's music shares similarities both with nearby areas of India and the other side of the border, in the [[Pakistan]]i province of [[Sindh]].

==Overview==
Rajasthan has a diverse collection of musician castes, including langas, sapera, bhopa, and [[Manganiar]]. There are two traditional classes of musicians: the [[Langha (tribe)|Langa]]s, who stuck mostly exclusively to Muslim audiences and styles, and the [[Manganiar]]s, who had a more liberal approach.

Traditional music includes the women's [[Panihari]] songs, which lyrically describes chores, especially centered on water and wells, both of which are an integral part of Rajasthan's desert culture. Other songs, played by various castes, normally begin with the [[alap]], which sets the tune and is followed by a recital of a couplet (dooba). Epic ballads tell of heroes like [[Devnarayan|Devnarayan Bhagwan]], [[Gogaji]], [[Ramdeoji]], [[Pabuji]] and [[Tejaji]]. The celebration of changing seasons is also very central to folk music of Rajasthan. Celebration of the coming of the [[Monsoons]] or the harvest season are central to most traditional folk songs. Songs also revolve around daily activities of the local people for instance a song about not sowing Jeera ([[Cumin]]) as it is difficult to tend. Or for instance another song about Podina ([[Lamiaceae|Mint]]) and how it is liked by various members of the family (an allegorical reference to a local liquor extracted from mint is also made). Every day common themes are the center of traditional rajasthani folk music.

One of the most famous Rajasthani [[Maand]] singers is [[Allah Jilai Bai]] of the Bikaner Gharana.
