Trinjan has long been a place of togetherness, collaborative wisdom, and shared abilities.[2][3][4] The night trinjan was called as 'Rat Katni,' and the day Trinjan was known as ' Chiri Charoonga .'[1][5][6]
Trinjan songs
'Trinjan' refers to assembling for activities such as plying 'Charkhas' and singing songs. Trinjan songs have a distinctive status in Punjabi folk music.
