Sharda Sinha
Sharda Sinha… As soon as this name comes to my mind, Chhath songs automatically start coming to my mind. This daughter of Bihar sang the songs of Chhath in such a way that the Chhath festival was considered incomplete without her songs. O Karelu Chhath, whether you bow down to look from the baratiya or bow down to look at the excrement of suruj thrown on the leaves of Kelva. Or the glass and bamboo bahangiya… These songs sung by Sharda Sinha in Chhath have become immortal.
Awarded Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan
Sharda Sinha, known as Swar Kokila, is no longer with us. He died on Tuesday night at AIIMS, Delhi. Chhathi Maiya called on famous folk singer Sharda Sinha, honored with Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan, during the Chhath festival. Sharda Sinha was the pride of Bihar. His contribution to Maithili and Bhojpuri music can never be forgotten. Sharda Sinha is no more with us, but whenever Chhath songs are sung, this daughter of Bihar’s name will continue to crop up. It can be said that a big festival like Chhath will seem incomplete without Sharda Sinha.
