Chalio / Chaliho also called Chaliho Sahib is a forty-day-long festival celebrated by Hindu Sindhi community. 〔(Chaliho festival )〕〔(Sindhis celebrate Chalio festival )〕〔 ==Background== Mirkshah, a Muslim ruler of Sindh had ordered to convert all Hindu Sindhis to Islam or face persecution. Hindu representatives asked for forty days time from the ruler to give their reply.〔 The frightened Hindus of Sindh prayed to their river God Varuna to come and help them. For forty days, they underwent penance. They neither shaved or wore new clothes, praying and fasting and singing songs in the praise of God Varuna. They beseeched him to save them from the hands of their persecutor.〔 On the fortieth day, a voice was heard from Heaven: "Fear not, I shall save you from the wicked Mirkshah. I shall come down as a mortal and take birth in the womb of Mata Devki in the house of Ratanchand Lohano of Nasarpur". Ratanchand Lohano was a Hindu belonging to Lohana cast. All the Sindhis were relieved and rejoiced at this akashvani. Later, Dariyalal was born as announced to the named couple, who saved the Hindus from Mirkshah. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chalio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
