गढवाली लोक नाटकों में  दैन्य भाव

Review of Characteristics of Garhwali Folk Drama, Folk Theater/Rituals and Traditional Plays part -28

             Depression arises due to misfortune, poverty, and mental agony and like that.

        According to Bharat’s Natyashastra, depression sentiment in drama is demonstrated by lack of self control, headache, dullness of body, absent mindedness, uncleanness etc.

               There are tens of examples of depression sentiment in Garhwali folk drama as prose drama by people, professional class or from folklores   

         There are many dramatic folk dance-songs performed by community or by professional class dramatists display depression sentiment. There are many proverbs those show depression sentiment.

 The following folksong –dance is an example -

गढ़वाली लोक  नाट्य गीतों में  दैन्य भाव

रामू बल कपास की पूणी

रामू बल खरसूनि गाँव रामू बल नौरता की सूणी

रामू बल परात की घाली

रामू बल नौरता की सूणी रामू बल दीउ दीने बाली

रामू बल कुखड़ा की बाती रामू बल दीउ देणु  बाली रामू बल गेंहू  बिना हाथी

रामू बल रणाईनी भेई रामू बल गेंहू  बिना हाथी  रामू बल मोल  ल्याण लाई

टीकाराम सांदण की खिल

टीकाराम बल मोल  ल्याण लाई टीकाराम मोल भीना मील

टीकाराम गिलौरी का गारा

टीकाराम मोल भी ना मिल , ऊँद जाई मानंद का द्वार

महानंद घटलाइ पोला महानंद

थोड़ा दिया गेंहू महानंद भरी देयां चौंल

 The above Ravai folksong (played as dance form too) describes that Navratra is near and discussion is on in village Kharsun.

 Ramu and Tikaram are discussing about Navaratra celebration.

 There is no wheat with Ramu . Tikaram suggests to borrow from Mahananad . They both request more rice than wheat from Mahanand.

 The above song shows poverty and depression sentiment very well.

When Badis sing this song and Badan (female Badi) dances on this folk song she shows depression emotion.

No doubt, the Badis or common people never studied Bharat’s Natyashastra but the folk dramatists knew human psychology very well.
