Jantsar

Jantsar (Kaithi: ๐‘‚”๐‘‚ข๐‘‚น๐‘‚ž๐‘‚ฎ๐‘‚ฐ๐‘‚ฉ; Devanagari: เคœเค‚เคคเคธเคพเคฐ; IAST: jฤแนƒtasฤr) are a type of Bhojpuri folk songs sung by women while by grinding something in a hand-mill made of stone (jฤแนƒtฤ).

The labour songs sung by women (i.e. Jatsaar) are different from that of men.

Jant is the name of the grinding wheel on which wheat is ground and sar means house or place.
