Re: Can you Guess?
In this story of Sorath Rai Diyaj, Bijal (musician) made an instruments whose wires were made from an animal’s intestine. :hayaa:
From the link:
Once someone hunted a deer and flung its intestines on the branch of a tree. After some time when wind would strike against them melodious notes would emanate from it. This would attract all the birds and animals. Soon Beejal realized that this was due to those intestines which had dried with the passage of time. He removed them and made strings from them for his instrument.
On his touching those strings with his bow the music would ensue by which bird and animals all would be attracted. In this way he would catch some deer and bring the same to his home to feed his parents. He became quite famous due to his musical abilities.

BTW the pic related to a story where Rajkumari exchanges her husband with another lady for a nau-lakha haar (necklace). When Raja knows this he left Rajkumari and the picture shows guilt of Rajkumari and her efforts to make Rajkumar stay with her.

LEELA CHANESAR
In the Lakhpat region of Kutch, now a part of Gujarat, there lived a king called Khangar, who had a beautiful daughter named Kounru. In those times, King Chanesar ruled in Devalkot, and was known for his looks, strength, riches and grandeur. One day, when Kounru was dressed in all her finery, a friend told her, “You have dressed yourself beautifully, as if you have won Chanesar” This remark sparked love for Chanesar in Kounru’s heart.
King Khangar, however, was worried that he would lose his respect if Chanesar rejected his daughter, so they decided to employ another stratagem – visiting Devalkot in the guise of wealthy merchants and befriending a flower vendor who decorated the King’s bedroom. Through him, they persuaded Chanesar’s minister Jakhro to speak of Kounru’s beauty to the king. Chanesar, however, was already married to Leela and would not hear of Kounru.
Kounru’s family then employed another stratagem and dressed as servants, approached Queen Leela, requesting her permission to serve her. Kounru was given the task of cleaning the king’s room, and as she assumed her task, she wept at the irony of her fate – being so close to Chanesar and yet not getting her heart’s object. Queen Leela, out of pity, asked her why she was crying, and Kounru told her that she too was once a princess and owned costly ornaments, one of which was a diamond necklace that shone so much, it had the power to banish the darkness. When Kounru showed her this necklace, worth Rs nine lakh, the whole palace dazzled with its brilliance. Kounru agreed to give the necklace to Queen Leela on one condition – that she be allowed to spend one night with the king, Smitten by the beauty of the necklace, Leela agreed.
Now that night, when Chanesar returned to his chamber, he was completely drunk. Leela told him that the servant would tend to his needs. Chanesar frowned, but being drunk, was unable to refuse.
Kounru’s mother, meanwhile, had made all the arrangements and when Leela departed, a priest arrived to marry Chanesar and Kounru. Chanesar did not realise what was going on, and was puzzled when he woke up to find Kounru by his side. As he tried to leave the room, Kounru’s mother arrived and asked him: “Where are you leaving your wedded wife? Leela has bartered one night of yours for a mere necklace!” The king was furious and sent Leela into exile.
**
Leela cursed herself for having exchanged her husband’s love for a mere necklace and returned to her parents’ home, hoping that the king would forgive her someday. She gave up all her ornaments and any attempt to beautify herself.
**
Many years passed and Chanesar forgot about Leela. Then one day, the minister Jakhro got engaged to a girl called Leela, belonging to the same village, The villagers refused to marry their daughter to Jakhro, so he went to the former queen Leela for help. She promised to help on condition that he would bring King Chanesar to her. Jakhro persuaded the king to attend his marriage and Chanesar agreed. When the marriage party arrived, many ladies with their faces covered came dancing to welcome them; King Chanesar told the main singer, “Your voice is so sweet, your face should be equally beautiful. I command you to remove your veil.” Chanesar was stunned to see her beauty, and swooned; the old flame of love, which had remained dormant, was rekindled. Leela also wept copiously and swooned, and both went into a coma from which they never recovered. In this manner, they were both immortalized in their love for ever.

Got it..
Raja Chanesar was the ruler of the Sindh from the Soomro dynasty. He was happily married to Lila. At the same time, Rana Kanghar and his wife Mirkhi ruled over Lakhpat in Kutchh. The couple had a beautiful but vain daughter Kaunru. Kaunru was engaged to her cousin who often noticing her proud attitude remarked that she behaved as if she was to be Chanesar’s queen. Kaunru stung by this sarcasm told her parents that she would only marry Chanesar or end her life. Alarmed her parents approached Jakhiro, a minister in Chanesar’s court begging him to convince the Raja to marry Kaunru. Chanesar was outraged when he heard this and refused the proposal.Kaunru then disguised herself and sought employment in Queen Lila’s palace. She was given the duty of preparing the bed for the couple at night. Once while performing her duties, Kaunru started crying and on inquiry told the queen that she (Kaunru) too was a princess who had every luxury and that instead of lanterns and lamps, her room was lit by the glittering diamonds of her “Naulakha Har”. Now diamonds and fine jewelry were the queen’s weakness. When Queen Lila saw the necklace, she asked Kaunru to quote the price. Kaunru in return asked for a night with the king. The foolish queen agreed and asked her husband to sleep with Kaunru. Chanesar furious at the suggestion refused to comply with the queen’s wishes.One night when Chanesar came to bed stone drunk, Lila asked Kaunru to sleep in her place. In the morning when Chanesar found Kaunru on his side, he was shocked and felt insulted. Seething with anger he turned Lila out of the castle and married Kaunru. Full of remorse, Lila went back to her parent’s house.Jakhiro the minister was getting married to a girl from Lila’s family. When Lila heard that Chanesar would be at the wedding, she covered her face with a veil and danced and sang along with other girls. The king impressed by the veiled figure’s performance asked her to reveal her face. On seeing Lila’s face behind the veil, Chanesar fell on the floor dead. Lila followed after a few seconds.
