Sindhuli Gadhi - Krishna Bikram Thapa Lyrics & Chords

Sindhuli Gadhi

by Krishna Bikram Thapa

"Sindhuli Gadhi Ghumera Herda" (commonly known as Suntali Mai) is a timeless Nepalese folk song composed and originally sung by Krishna Bikram Thapa. First recorded at Radio Nepal in 1979 (2036 B.S.), the track serves as a poignant cultural bridge, blending a romantic narrative with profound national history. The opening lyrics, "Sindhuli Gadhi ghumera herda, Suntali Mai katima ramro darbara" ("Looking around Sindhuli Gadhi, oh Suntali Mai, what a beautiful palace"), use a lighthearted romantic backdrop to guide listeners through the historic fort where Nepalese Gorkha forces famously defeated the British army in 1767. This dual theme of love and heritage allowed the song to introduce the remote historic site to mainstream Nepalese public consciousness, transforming it into a legendary symbol of national identity. Decades after its original release under Music Nepal, the song remains deeply rooted in Nepal's musical landscape, inspiring numerous contemporary adaptations across various genres. The song's legacy was further secured by a formal remake vocalized by his eldest son, Raju Thapa, and arranged by the renowned folk ensemble Kutumba, which preserved Krishna Bikram's original melodies while introducing the track to younger generations. The musical structure relies on a classical chord progression (Am, Dm, F, G) that remains a staple for aspiring musicians. Today, whether accessed via streaming giants like Spotify or heard floating through the hills of the actual Sindhuli war museum, the track continues to stand as one of the most culturally significant folk anthems in Nepalese history.
