Privacy Policy for rajasthanifolksongs.com

Effective Date: November 12, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to rajasthanifolksongs.com, a website dedicated to preserving the rich heritage of Rajasthani folk music. Our mission is to collect, curate, and present traditional folk songs—including rare and “lost” songs—to ensure they remain accessible for generations to come.

Some songs may be known to the public, while others are curated carefully from authentic sources such as elders, performers from traditional singing lineages like Langas and Manganiyars, and other credible sources. In some cases, modern adaptations by musicians may modify lyrics; our focus is on preserving the original form wherever possible.

By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
