The present article entitled “Saharay Serenj: A Study of Santali Folk Music" explores one of the most significant genres of Santali traditional songs associated with the Saharay festival. The study is based on qualitative fieldwork conducted in selected Santali villages, where data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observation of ritual practices. Secondary sources, particularly Dr. Rajib Murmu' s book "Hor Saonhed" , have also been consulted.
The paper examines the origin, structure, performance, and cultural significance of Saharay Serenj. It argues that Santali folk songs are not merely aesthetic expressions but serve as repositories of myth, history, ecological ethics, and collective memory. Through textual analysis of songs along with their English translations, the study highlights how these songs reflect agrarian life, ritual practices, and the worldview of the Santals.
