Pachra folk invocation of Durga Maiya, Navratri Shakti worship, oral tradition of Bihar and Eastern UP
Durga, Vindhyavasini, Sheravali, Kali, Parvati
Significance & Importance
Pachra is a centuries-old Bhojpuri folk genre unique to Bihar and Eastern UP, performed by women to invoke and awaken Devi during Navratri — distinct from composed bhajans, it is an oral tradition passed through generations. This invocation calls Durga Maiya — venerated as Sheravali and Vindhyavasini at the famous Vindhyachal shrine near Varanasi — to protect and bless devotees across the Ganga plains. Pachra represents the most intimate form of Shakti worship in Bhojpuri communities, rooted in the earth of Patna and Purvanchal.
English Transliteration
Jaago jaago Maiya Raani bhaile bhor,
Nauraat mein aailuu too karo sab kor.
Sher par savaar ho ke aavo Maiya,
Bhaktan ke dukh haro aavo Maiya.
Pachara gaayeen ham tohare duaare,
Maiya Raani suno hamar pukaare.
Nau din nau raat ke mahaapooja ba,
Durga Maiya ke mahima anokha ba.
Jot jaraayib kalasa sajaayib,
Maiya ke charan mein maath navaayib.
Laal chunari odhaayib Maiya ke,
Bhog lagaayib phool chadhaayib ke.
Sheeraawali Maiya jai jayakaar,
Durga Raani ke mahima apaar.
Vindhyavaasinee Maiya daras dikhaawo,
Bhaktan ke manokaamana sab pooraawo.
