One field, one family. Raghu’s song for the 2026 festival, with the roll call, the chai queue and the loudest uncles in the lounge. Press play, then read along.
Learn the hook before next September. The children already have.
Jai Shree Krishna! I’m Raghu!
Sixteen mahajans, one lion, one field.
Are you ready, Lohana? I can’t hear you!
Go Raghu, go Raghu, go go go!
We’re Raghuvanshi and everybody knows!
Lohana! (Lohana!) One field, one family!
Go Raghu, go Raghu, go go go!
Trainers on and shuttle up, the whistle’s about to blow,
Ba’s on the badminton and Dada’s on the go.
Grab your bat, grab your cousin, grab a samosa on the way,
Raghu’s got the roll call and it’s festival day!
Win or lose, you’re counted, every point has a name,
Check in at the desk and you’ve already scored a game!
Go Raghu, go Raghu, go go go!
We’re Raghuvanshi and everybody knows!
Lohana! (Lohana!) One field, one family!
Go Raghu, go Raghu, go go go!
Table tennis, pickleball, squash and seven-a-side,
Youth cricket in the afternoon, with your mum and dad outside.
Chai at half past eight, trophies at five,
And the lounge is where the uncles play the loudest match alive!
Win or lose, you’re counted, every point has a name,
Check in at the desk and you’ve already scored a game!
Go Raghu, go Raghu, go go go!
We’re Raghuvanshi and everybody knows!
Lohana! (Lohana!) One field, one family!
Go Raghu, go Raghu, go go go!
Raghu: Who’s on the badminton court? Kids: We are!
Raghu: Who’s in the chai queue? Kids: We are!
Raghu: Who’s scoring for their mahajan? Kids: We are!
Raghu: Then say it with me!
Raghu: Ek maidan! Kids: Ek parivaar!
Raghu: Chalo! Kids: Maidan ma!
From Kutch to Kenya to Kingsbury, we came a long, long way,
Bapa said whoever comes can eat, so everybody stay.
Sixteen towns, one surname, one Shield, one roar,
Same field every September and we’re coming back for more!
Go Raghu, go Raghu, go go go!
We’re Raghuvanshi and everybody knows!
Jai Jalaram! One field, one more!
Go Raghu, go Raghu, go go go!
Same field, next September. Bring your Ba.
The lion turned up for everything: badminton, cricket, football, pool, and the trophy table at the end of it.
North London lifted the first Mahajan Shield on Sunday 20 September at Hertfordshire Sports Village. Nearly three hundred photographs from the day are up now.
The music and cover artwork for Ek Maidan (Go Raghu Go) were generated with Suno. Raghu is the Lohana Sports Festival mascot.
