Review of Characteristics of Garhwali Folk Drama, Folk Theater/Rituals and Traditional Plays part -33

           According to Bharat’s Natyashastra (7.57), bashfulness sentiment is performed by covering the face, thinking bowing down the head, dullness of eyes, writing on the ground, touching the clothes and ring and biting nails and like that.

          I remember we children played folk drama in Nau Dhar jungle (village Jaspur, Malla Dhangu, Pauri Garhwal) while taking caws for grazing. We played that folk drama under an oak tree.

            We copied a folk ritual of ‘Tumdi Ritan’ for catching a thief who theft ornaments from a house. ‘Tumdi Ritan’ means through black magic and ritual chanting the Tumdi (dry and empty bottle gourd) walks exactly to the door of thief.

            One of us Shibu Jakhmola became ritual priest and he chanted rituals (Mantra). The Tumdi reached to Prem Kukreti -one of us. The thief performer Prem Kukreti showed blushing performance by hiding his face and scratching ground by foot nail and biting nails too. Prem Kukreti said,” na na min t .. naa .. naa …”. It was marvelous performances of bashfulness by Prem Kukreti.
