Dulari meaning
Dulari (दुलारी) is a Hindu girl's name of Hindi origin.
Beloved, dear, darling (feminine of dulārā)
Dulari (दुलारी) is a warm, homely Hindi name. Platts' dictionary records dulārā, with the feminine dulārī, as beloved, dear and darling, from dulār, "fondness, affection", the word in the phrase lāḍ-dulār, the pampering love of parents for a child. Raj-dulari, "the king's darling", is a pet name, and Dulari is used as a name and endearment for daughters in North India. Name lists give "beloved" or "dear", the same as the dictionary. Well-known bearers include the Mithila painter Dulari Devi.
