Nisukoni-Geet: Assamese Lullaby
Nisukoni-Geet is known as a 'lullaby' in Assamese folk literature.
The word 'Nisukoni' means 'to soothe' or 'to put to sleep.' These songs are sung by mothers to lull their children to sleep or calm them down.
These songs often describe natural beauty, fairy tales, or the moon and stars.
The famous book of Assamese literature, 'Budhi Aair Sadhu' (Stories of the Old Mother), also contains references to several such songs.
