Performed by Mansi, a visually impaired student of our Delhi Centre, this soulful rendition of “Ae Maalik Tere Bande Hum” carries the prayerful simplicity and purity that makes this song timeless.

Originally from the 1957 classic Do Aankhen Barah Haath, written by Bharat Vyas and composed by Vasant Desai, the hymn has long been cherished as a universal call for peace, integrity, and kindness.
Its words remind us:

“Ae Maalik, Tere Bande Hum… aise ho hamare karam.”
A prayer that we always choose righteousness, humility, and compassion.

Through her voice, Mansi transforms this melody into a message of strength, grace, and light — a moment that touches the heart far beyond the stage. 💛✨

Jhijhiya – Delhi Centre (Dance)
A sacred folk dance from Mithila, Jhijhiya is performed during Navratri in honour of Kul Devta Bramha Baba, the village guardian who protects communities from evil, drought, and disease.
Women dance in circles carrying earthen pots with lamps inside — the glowing jhijhiya symbolising light over darkness and the power of collective faith.
Folk tradition tells us that Bramha Baba is not the creator-god Brahma, but a Gram Devta — a local protector whose blessings ensure safety and wellbeing.
Through rhythm, prayer, and movement, this performance brings an ancient invocation to life.
