The performance is held across a number of villages and only at night in the summer. Each village has a different set of masks, and sometimes masks are even loaned to villages if they can\u2019t afford to have their own. Silvassa is a good place to experience the Bhawada Dance. You can even see the masks at the tribal museum, also at Silvassa. \xa0\n \xa0\n The masks are carved out of single pieces of wood and then decorated with bamboo strips and coloured papers. Bright red, yellow and green in colour, they depict Gods and Goddesses like Panch Pandava, Ravana, Ganesh and tribal deities Kaloba, Mhasoba, Rangatai. Every dancer enacts steps typical of the character whose mask he wears, as he dances to the tune of musical instruments like the Sur, Kahali and Sambal.', u'editable': False, u'ranges': [{u'start': u'/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[10]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[2]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[9]/td[1]/p[1]/strong[1]', u'end': u'/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[10]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[2]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[13]/td[1]/p[1]', u'startOffset': 0, u'endOffset': 418}], u'text': u'Bhawada Dance Dadra-Nagar-Haveli', u'permissions': {u'read': [], u'admin': [], u'update': [], u'delete': []}} created: Tue, 09 Jun 2015, 04:50 AM UTC
