Mai Sasuraal Nahi Jaaungi Doli Rakh Do - Chandni.HQ …
Doli had an important place in desi culture, but after advent of new technology and transportation means, it seems that this disappeared from our society.

Have you ever heard from your elders or seen usage of doli yourself?

Re: Doli rakh do kaharo

Palki and Doli are basically same. Hindus used Doli while Muslims used Palki in India, especially, in Awadh area of Uttar Pradesh.

Doli is simple and is usually decorated with ornaments and flowers while Palkki is roomier and has more intricate design with fine wood. the one my mom had was was stored in the far quarter of our house and which was later disposed of had sliding doors and was so beautifully crafted. i remember we used to play in there when we were kids. :)

Re: Doli rakh do kaharo

is the doli tradition alive in rural Punjab?

Tera Mera Ik Jhagra, Alahh Aap Nabere,
Ve Lag Gaye Nain Awere,
Ranjhe Majhiyan Charaiiyaan, Doli Le Gaye Ne KheRe,
Tere Raah Ronde, Hanjhu Muk Gaye Ne Mere,
Jawan Sadke Mein Tere, Vehre Aa Varh Mere,
Tera Mera Ik Jhagra, Alahh Aap Nabere”

Re: Doli rakh do kaharo

I dont think so. I have never really been to a rural wedding, but I have seen marriages in semi rural environments but the doli is missing. It was there two generations back (grand parents). In some cases the middle class urbaners use it as a cultural thing (from outside the wedding hall to inside it).
