           According to Bharat’s Natyashastra, the humor rapture creates laughter by wearing unusual ornaments, ill-mannered or uncouth behavior, words, dresses and strange movements of body. The deity of Humor rapture is Pratham dev.

          The Badis used to perform various humorous prose drama, prose and poetic dramas or poetic dramas in villages.

                   The villagers use to play dramas by playing humorous folk songs too as follows –

              रवाँल्टी के हास्य -व्यंग्य लोक गीत 




पाणी भरी बाल्टी द्वी सैण्यूं कू रसिया आफुइ बणा खाणू 

That man who has two wives

The man has to clean his vessels his own

The man has to cook his food his own
