About the Artist
Maaruti Mohataa
✦
The Mayra ceremony is a deeply cherished Marwari tradition where the maternal uncle (mama) brings gifts to the bride or groom. Maaruti Mohataa is one of India's foremost Mayra singers, performing the traditional Rajasthani songs of this ceremony with authentic folk flavour and classical polish.
In Marwari culture, the Mayra is among the most emotional and joyous pre-wedding ceremonies. The songs sung during Mayra — celebrating the mama's arrival, the gift-giving, the family's happiness — have been passed down through generations. Maaruti-ji brings these songs to life with the warmth and authenticity they deserve, drawing tears and smiles in equal measure.
