The song's lilting tune and heart-rending words have made it an enduring classic. Sitala Maju is one of the most well-known songs in Newar society. It is one of the six seasonal songs and is sung in the winter season.
The epic poem's title Sitala Maju refers to the name of the goddess of smallpox according to Hindu and Buddhist traditions.
