Laal ( In English for Non Hindi Readers )

Thoda laal sinduur saja dena maang mein mori

Aur ek choti laal bindiya bhi laga dena maathe par

Chand laal chudiyaan ho gar to mori kalaai mein daal dena

Aur haan, hatheliyon mein meri laal mehndi chada dena

Pairon mein thoda laal alta pighla dena

Mar jaun main jab, ek laal odhni main dafna dena

Woh kya hai na, ek tavaayaf hun main

Durga puja main mere hi aangan ki mitti chaahiye

Par ghar basaane ke liye mujh par laal rang koi na dale

Isiliye, laal rang ho suhaagan sa agle janam more aanchal main

Laal ho maang, laal odhni, laal bindiya, bas thoda laal chahti hun main.....

In India, prostitutes when die, their female counterparts bury them in a traditional RED bridal attire. It is believed that this way they are able to uplift the curse of 'body-selling' in their next birth. This practice is commonly practiced in Kolkata and Orissa.

Red is the prominent color associated with Hindu-Indian marriages.
