TaralaBalu Kendra, R T. Nagara, NammaBengaluru.
An excellent Yakshagana (Field Drama / Dance Ballet ) was performed by the artists from Tulukoota, Bengaluru. The heritage, culture, beliefs from TuluNadu, Coastal Karnataka was superbly brought out on stage with dance, dialogues, story, singing, costume, and presentation.
It is very amazing to see the coordination between the artists, singing with accompanying artist on mridanga and chande, and the dialogues that follow. It really requires dedication, perseverance and devotion to the performing art. All the artists, mature, performed very well.
A low cast person Thaniya goes with load to offer to nearby deity's place as donation. He was not allowed to enter the place as he was untouchable. With his firm belief in God, he presents it with objection from the temple administrators.
Devi was pleased with his offerings and made him as super human "Koragajja".
Another story is brothers Narendra and Dharmendra ruled a Kingdom. Both of them fall in love the same girl start fighting. Mother intervenes and advises Narendra being elder, should see the welfare of the citizens and the family and he should make his brother to marry the girl.
He agrees and also makes Dharmedra as ruler to look after the kingdom and goes for penance.
"Bhoota Kola" is traditional power center and people of TuluNadu strongly believes in the advises of the person believed to be incarnation of the deity. People respect the messages and follow the orders.
The show was mesmerizing, though the language is Tulu, but meanings and story is very clear.
