      There are many stories and twist in the lyrical drama. Therefore, the lyrical, dance drama of mythological subject contains the audience.  There is thrill, chivalry, conflicts between deity and God; spirituality, rage, jealousy, philosophy and love etc in this Garhwali mythological drama.

                         The drama writer uses lyrics in place of prose dialogues and narration.  The example of lyrical dialogues and narration is as under:

( नारायण )

त्वे जना पापी कु करदू छौं मी कटान

औ धौं मीरा पास लमडान्दूछौं चट्टान

अबि छमा मंगली त द्योलू छ्मादान

छोड़ देवलु पापी तेरी, ज्वा च प्यारी जान

(सहस्त्र )

अरे कण सा सी केटा अज्ञान

देनी छै में ठुला सि ज्ञान

बोल्यु तू आज मेरु मान

निथर गववै जाण एक प्राण

ले-लड़ाई -चलौ जरा बाण

अब त कची भुजी तेरी खाण

( युद्ध हुंद सहस्त्र कवच का नौ सौ निन्यायव कवच टूटी जान्दन ..

सहस्त्र सूर्य देव का पास भगद )

  Certainly the dance-lyrical mythological drama is an entertaining drama.
