Significance
Behind
Celebrating
Cheti
Chand
or
Jhulelal
Jayanti
Cheti
Chand
is
also
known
as
Chaitra
The
Sindhi
New
Year
and
is
observed
on
the
second
day
of
the
Sindhi
Chet
month
of
the
Hindu
calendar.
There
is
a
belief
that
Sindhi
people
worship
Jhulelal
for
saving
them
from
a
tyrannical
ruler
Mirkhshah,
who
from
nearby
Thatta
ordered
that
local
Sindhis
must
convert
into
Islam
within
twenty-four
hours
or
sacrifice.
On
hearing
this
Sindhi
people
refused
to
follow
Mirkhshah's
order
and
offered
their
prayers
to
the
Almighty
on
the
Sindhu
river
bank
for
40
days
at
a
stretch.
Legend
has
it
that
on
the
fortieth
day,
a
divine
prophecy
informed
them
about
the
birth
of
a
child
to
a
couple
who
lived
in
Nasarpur.
And as per the divine prediction, a baby was born to Devaki and Ratanchand Lohano. At birth, this child was named Udaichand and was fondly addressed as Uderolal. One day when the cradle carrying the baby rocked on its own, the child's parents witnessed this miracle and lovingly addressed the baby as Jhulelal. Also, some believe that the parents saw a deity seated on a fish when the baby opened its mouth. As the baby grew, Mirkshah made numerous attempts to kill the baby but later admitted his defeat after realizing the power and bravery of Uderolal.
