The term 'karhale' is derived from the Rajasthani and Sindhi word 'karhal,' which means camel.
Historically, traders loaded their goods on camels to sell in distant lands, enduring long, arduous journeys. To relieve fatigue and express their emotions, they sang songs called 'karhale' about the harsh desert climate and their separation from loved ones.
Over time, these songs evolved into a unique poetic form, depicting foreign lands and the challenges of wandering in separation from family.
