Singing Hijras or not

I'm not sure if all of these or just some of these are hijras or not. They are singing around the goddess known for having that following but most of her devotees are hijras not even by a long shot. The pitches of their voices are pretty high but I can sing that way too (at fifty years even) and make it sound the same by singing into a cheap microphone or an earphone and then passing it through a litte reverb on to the amplifier. My singing doesn't come out nearly as well as theirs though.

This is a cool video I just thought I'd throw in. And of course, I am almost totally clueless as to understanding what they are saying outside of hearing "bahuchar" in the previous ones and "shiva" in this one. Shiva is the god/goddess so it does have something to do with hijras. I can probably sing this one, I think.

Sorry to disappoint you but they are not Hijras at all.

They are just ordinary devotional Indians.
