LiLa Chanesar

Lilan Chanesar (Sindhi: ليلا چنيسر‎) is traditional story which dates back to the time of Jam Chanesar, one of the Soomra rulers in the 14th century Thatta, Sindh, Pakistan. It has often been retold in Sindhi and Persian.

Chanesar's wife, spoiled and pleasure loving Lilan, is enticed by another woman's necklace worth 900,000 rupees to allow former owner of necklace to spend one night with her husband. Furious that he had been 'sold' Chanesar divorces Lilan, who has to undergo long process of purification until she is once more acceptable in her husband's presence.

The story also appears in Shah Jo Risalo and forms part of seven popular tragic romances from Sindh. The other six tales are Umar Marui, Sohni Mehar, Sassui Punhun, Noori Jam Tamachi, Sorath Rai Diyach and Momal Rano commonly known as Seven heroines (Sindhi: ست سورميون‎) of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai.

Raja Chanesar was a well known ruler of the Soomra dynasty, who ruled Deval Kot, an ancient city of Sindh near Thatta, Pakistan. He had a beautiful Queen Lilan, who was very fond of diamonds and jewellery.

Contemporary to him was Rao Khengar, who ruled Lakhpat in Kutchh, in India. He had an only daughter Kaunru, who was very beautiful and engaged to her cousin Utmadi. Being the only daughter of Rana Khanghar and Mirkhi, too much love had spoiled her. She was proud of her beauty and was always worried about her looks.
