Housing construction and demonstrations workshop held

Tuesday, 21 January 2020 | PNS | Bhopal

Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya heldhousing construction and demonstrations workshop to introduce the local architecture of various stages of housing construction made by the local tribes.

On Monday, the traditional Warli artists from Maharashtra performed renovation works of the Warli myth wall painting “The story of Kambdi Dance” with the aim to introduce the visitors with the intellectual and creative skills of simple societies and the technological splendour of India's contemporary world at Mythological Trail open air exhibition premises of IGRMS, Bhopal.

Under the leadership of warli artists Manki Bapu Vayeda, above 02 tribal artists Ashok Palanjya Ghatal and Subhash Nathu Dev Sutar from Maharashtra have completed this work.

Manki Bapu Vayeda gave information about the Kambri Dance depicted in Warli style of Painting and said that, Kambdi Dance is associated with the agricultural production activities. Male and female members perform this dance to please the goddess “Kansari” (goddess of paddy or grain), Dhartari (earth goddess), Gavatari (cattle goddess) and Narayana Dev (god Narayana). All the male members dance in a circular movement by putting a lamp and grains in the center. An interesting story lies behind the dance.

The story is as follows - a twelve-year-long severe drought that once befell the inhabitants of this earth. All water bodies dried, the cattle began to die and man survived on forest produces like mokha leaves, wild roots and honey. The villagers decided to propitiate the god and goddess through Kambdi Dance. However they were very weak and hardly able to get the rhythm right.

They perform the dance by nodding the head and clapping only. Then, their god and goddess were pleased with their sincere efforts and blessed them with rain.
