The history\n of the Tamasha of Maharashtra presents a picture, which is somewhat different from the other folk forms in Maharashtra.\n The word Tamasha is a Persian of having meaning fun or entertainment. Some scholars even believe that this form of theatre\n has been strongly inspired by two forms of Sanskrit drama - the "Prahsana" and the "Bhana".\n The interspersed poetry and narrative writing in Tamasha tells us of the existence of many dance and music styles such\n as the themes of the Ramayan and the Mahabharat. This is obvious but one can not find a direct bearing of early and medieval\n writing in it.\n In Maharashtra, one can find a strong influence of the Sanskrit Literature in writing and on creativity of Marathi folk\n art. Ram Joshi (1762-1812) is considered as the originator of the Tamasha, was as familiar with the Sanskrit puranas and the\n recitation and singing of the Kirtaniyas as with the popular forms of theatre common all over the countryside. His association\n later with Moropant, an outstanding name in contemporary Marathi writing, led to a transformation, which resulted in the Lavani\n singing being used to popularize the Aryas of Moropant.So, scholar still believe that Lavani is derived from Tamasha itself.\n This dance form is developed in 16th century. The love songs i.e. `Lavanis` are the heart of Tamasha and are very popular\n in common people. Instruments used are the Dholki drum, `Tuntuni` (a single string instrument), `Manjeera` cymbals, `Daf`\n (a tambourine-like instrument with a single leather surface), `Halgi` (smaller Daf), the metal triangle called `Kade`, the\n `Lejim` (an instrument with a jangling sound), the Harmonium and `Ghunghroos` (ankle bells). Tamasha is associated and performed\n with two of the communities of Maharashtra; they are Kolhati and Mahar.\n Besides, there were two other forms of Tamasha, which is important to mention in the context of the Tamasha. One was the\n ballad singing tradition of the Pawada and the other was the theatrical form known as the Dasavatara (ten carnation of Vishnu)\n that is common to Maharashtra and Karnataka and in many other parts of India and which survives today in Goa and the konkan\n region. Finally, there was one more form, which was anterior to these last two, and this was the Gavalana. The saint poets\n of Marathi, particularly the Vaishnavites have used them on wide scale.\n For the performance of the Tamasha no special stage is required with special arrangement. It can be anywhere in the Village\n Square, the courtyard of any house, an open ground or on an artificial stage. The overwhelming performance begins with the\n entry of the musicians as in other dance-drama forms. At the beginning two percussionists named the dholkiwala and the Halgiwala\n enter in the scene. While the dholkiwala provides the basic rhythm and the usual metrical cycles are played on the dholak,\n the Halgi provides the sharp accents and other piercing sounds. These add up in musical background of Tamasha.\n The beginning of the recital is announced loudly by them with accompaniment of two more instrumentalists, the manjirawala\n and the tuntune player. The entry of the singer held at last and he acquires position in front of the group. Sometimes, the\n Manjirewala and the tuntune player also make their contribution in singing. There is also the Surtya, the provider of the\n drone or the tonic who often joins in the singing. After the drumming is over and the main musician has entered and taken\n his position in the group, an invocation song to Lord Ganesha is sung, called the Gana.\n The Gana follows the Gavalana or the Gaulaniare. This is a Marathi counterpart of the Krishnlila in Marathi religious\n literature, in which different episodes of the life of Krishna were described, sung and enacted frequently. The poet singers\n in Lavni are known as "Shahirs" had composed many narrative and love songs that reflected artistic heights unthinkable\n for Tamasha.\n Apart from the dance sequences, movement enters into the Tamasha through considerable acrobatic play, which is executed,\n by the Natucni (female actress), Songadya and other characters. In this respect ,the Tamasha is a close to the Bhavai. Also\n some of the acrobatic movements have close affinities with the several folk dances known to Maharashtra.\n The musical compositions of the Tamasha manifest the typical phenomenon of a simultaneous use of the Raga and the incorporation\n of many folk and indigenous melodies. Amongst the Hindustani Ragas used for Tamasha Yaman, Bhairavi, and Pilu are common.\n All this rich fare of elementary ritual, farce, satire, sarcasm, dance and music concludes with something, which is akin to\n an Aarti. In any case, the finale is always on a high moral note that the good wins, evil perishes, truth is victorious and\n falsehood is self-destructive.\n The costumes of the Tamasha players, who are called by various names like the Gammat, Phada etc, are not fixed costumes.\n In the most of the part, they are everyday dress of the different sections of the Maharashtra society. Maharashtra has a lively\n tradition of song, dance, music and theatre. The Lavni performed only by women is sometimes called the gem of Marathi folk\n music and dance. It is incorporated in slapstick Tamasha, and is perhaps one of the most popular folk forms.\n In short, content determined by the nature of their performances and the chiseling of the conventions in the folk forms\n like the Tamasha gave a new dimension to the theatre art in Maharashtra. Today, Marathi theatre itself has evolved over the\n years, and now it has become an awareness weapon, which can challenge norms and often embraces rebellious issues for the common\n man.', u'permissions': {u'admin': [], u'read': [], u'update': [], u'delete': []}, u'text': u'Tamasha Maharashtra India', u'tags': u'["Folk-dances-of-india"."Maharashtra","Tamasha"]'}

The Lavani Dance form is a combination of traditional songs and dances. It worked as a morale booster for the war soldiers in the 18th century. \n Usually Lavani Dance form is performed by Dhangars or shepherds of Sholapur district of Maharashtra. Lavani is the poetry written by Dhangras who gets the inspiration by nature. The Lavani dance from contains the tales of Birth of their Diety called Biruba. In general in the Lavani Songs there are meaningless chants which are used to fill the gaps within the musical sounds. Lavani the musical drama goes on for the entire night and at the end of the Lavani performance, a replica of Manmathas mount is burnt.\n\nMaharashtra long years ago was a battle torn state and Lavani dance form served as mode of entertainment and morale booster to the tired soldiers during the period of 18th and 19th century. The dance reached peak popularity during the Peshwai rule which was the dynasty seated in Pune, during this period the dance was given royal support by the ruling elite. The great Marathi poets like Honaji Bala, Ramjoshi, Prabhakar, etc. took Lavani Dance forms to new heights. In the recent times, Lavani has become confined to sensual entertainment often presented in a stereotyped and cheap form in Marathi films. Lavani constitutes the beautiful combination of traditional song and dance, which particulary performed to the enchanting beats of \u2018Dholak\u2019, and drum like instrument. The Dance is performed by attractive women wearing nine-yard saries who sing in a quick tempo. \nThe Lavani music form is popular in Maharashtra which has two types the Nirguni Lavani which includes philosophy and the Shringari Lavani which had the shades to erocity which is popular in Madhya Pradesh.\n\nThe Lavani Dancers are dressed in bright colored saries and bedecked in golden jewelry; the Lavani dancers usually get dressed graciously swayed their bodies to the beat of the dholaks enticing the audience. Scholars usually say that the origin of Lavani dance was in the temples where the dance and musical performances were held as part of worship of the gods. Indeed, beautifully dressed women enchant the audience with their dance and song. \n \nLavani is performed by attractive women wearing nine-yard saries and the women gyrate on the pulsating beats of traditional music. Earlier this art form dealt with different and varied subject matters including society, religion, politics, romance, etc. Lavani in earlier times was used as a form of entertainment and morale booster to the tired soldiers during the 18th and 19th century Maratha battle. Lavani today is an integral part of rural theatre, with its variations including the traditional Gan and Gavlan which are meant to please the Gods.

The facial makeup is generally done using red and white colours, which\n distinguishes Dashavatara actors from the spectators. The evening commences with prayers dedicated to Lord Ganapati sung by\n the Sutradhar (stage manager) at the starting of the play.\n The ten incarnation of Vishnu are Matsya (Fish), Koorma (Tortoise), Varaha (Wild Bore), Narasimha (Half Man & Half\n Lion), Vamana (Dwarf), Parashuraama, Raama, Balaraama Krishna, & Kalki.

This dance is performed elaborately during the festival of Navratri, making the evenings special for the people of Gujarat. The word Ras in 'Dandia-Ras' signifies Ras dance, which is considered a form of Raslila. The Ras is simple and is generally performed by a group of young people who move in typical style in measured steps around a circle, accompanied by a singing chorus and a host of musical instruments like the dhol, cymbals, zanz and shehnai (flute).\n\nHistory of Dandia Ras\n\n\nIt is considered that this folk dance is from the Limbdi region of Gujarat (a state in Western India). Dandia Ras originated as devotional Garba dances, which were practiced in the honour of Goddess Durga. This dance is basically the staging of a mock-fight between Goddess Durga and Mahishasura. The stick which is an essential part of the dance represents the sword of Goddess Durga.\n\nPerformance of Dandia Ras\n\n\nDandia Ras is always performed in a group. In the ancient times, men essentially performed this folk dance, but now the Dandia Ras a counterpart to the Garba, is equally enjoyed and danced by both men and women. In its modern form, men and women join and dance in circle, holding small polished colourful sticks or dandias. As they whirl to the rhythm of the dance, they strike the dandiyas together, adding to the joyful atmosphere. Though it is played in almost all parts of the state, the best Ras dancers are the Kathiawari Ras dancers, from the Saurashtra region. The sprightly circular movements to the scintillating beats of the dhol are mesmerizing and transports one to a totally different world of rhythm and joy. The performers add and subtract, as per the need of audiences while performing a Vesha.\n\n\n\nThe main difference between the 'Garba' and 'Dandiya' dance performances is that Garba is performed before 'Aarti' of Goddess while Dandia is performed after it. Exclusively women perform Garba, men and women join in for Dandiya.\n\nCostume of Dandia Ras\n\n\nDandia Ras has an interesting costume to exhibit. The female dancers usually dress themselves in colourful traditional embroidered choli, ghagra and bandhani dupattas that feature dazzling mirror work. To complete the look they wear decorative heavy jewellery. The men wear special turbans and kedias.\n\nPopularity of Dandia Ras\n\n\nOver a period of time, the popularity of Dandiya Ras has spread in all parts of India. In the present days, this dance is not only an important part of Navaratri in Gujarat but extends itself to other festivals related to harvest and crops as well. In fact, this dance is also performed at social functions and on stage.", u'permissions': {u'read': [], u'admin': [], u'update': [], u'delete': []}, u'text': u'Dandia-ras description', u'tags': [u'Gujarat', u'dandia-ras-folk-dance', u'Navaratri', u'turbans', u'kedias', u'choli,', u'ghagra', u'bandhani', u'dupattas', u'Odhani', u'Harvest-festival', u'dhol,', u'cymbals,', u'zanz', u'shehnai', u'flute', u'harmonium']}

A betel nut and a silver coin are placed within the pot, termed as Kumbh, on top of which a coconut is placed. Even in some villages of Gujarat, one would find the tradition of a "Light" (Deevo-Kodiyun) in an earthen pot with the holes all around, placed in the center on a stool and colourful dressed ladies dancing around it by clapping their hands and singing Mataji\'s songs. Garba songs are devotional mostly in praise of Mother Goddess Jagdamba describing her form, powers, and invoking her blessings. But in some songs description about seasons and social themes of domestic life is also found. Folk poets compose Garba songs, which are lyrical poems sung in praise of Lord Krishna. Singing together is an invariable accompaniment of Garba Nrtiya. Other forms of Garba are Deevo, Ghado and Garbi. \n\nThe actual dance performance begins at night and all the participants gather at the open space or at street corners. An idol or photograph of the goddess is kept in the centre and a circle is formed around it. Ghee and oil amps are lit in front of Mataji\'s Sthanak, which is put in the Chowk. At initial stages dancing begins with slow tempo and reaches at a fast tempo. A Dholi or drummer who sit in the centre keeps the rhythm. Some times, the women also carry \'Mandavali\', on their heads and it is made up of bamboo chips covered with a red silk piece of cloth. The Mandavali symbolizes the goddess and they dance with it for some time and later put it in the centre. \n\nGenerally, in Gujarat, the women wear sari in their Gujarati style. However, in different parts of Gujarat, every community wears different style of clothes. In Saurashtra region, women wear artistically embroidered petticoats (Ghaghara), a backless choli (Kapdu) and a head cover (odhani) with lots of silver on their head. Males wear Kediyum (shirt) Vajani (trouser) and Rumal a printed headpiece with on the waist, neck and hands. The musical instruments used for Garba are mainly the drum, harmoniums and Nal.', u'editable': False, u'ranges': [{u'start': u'/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[8]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[2]/div[3]', u'end': u'/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[8]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[2]/div[3]', u'startOffset': 634, u'endOffset': 3059}], u'text': u'Garba folk dance description', u'permissions': {u'read': [], u'admin': [], u'update': [], u'delete': []}}
