Legend Behind Cheti Chand

Cheti Chand is considered to be the first day of the new year as per the Sindhu’s as it marks the new beginnings and all the things that are yet to take shape. On Vikram Samvat 1007, 951 AD, in the Sindh province of Narsapur Nagar, Lord Jhulelal, the Ishta Dev of Sindhis, was born to Rattan Rao Luhana and his wife Devaki. He is also known by the names Lal Sai, Uderolal, Varun Dev and Zinda Pir. Lord Jhulelal did many deeds that defined his character and portrayed him as the the true protector of religion. He really pushed for unity between the Hindus and Muslims as well as emphasised on the philosophy of God. He said that there is only one God and that we should all live in peace and harmony. This is the reason why Lord Jhulelal is worshipped so religiously by both the Hindus and Muslims.
