Chhau Dance -- Anandam (Editorial)
| Title: | Chhau Dance -- Anandam (Editorial) | | Author: | Anand, Mulk Raj | | Publication: | Marg | | Enumeration: | Vol. 22 Issue no. 1; December 1968, p. 2-4 | | Abstract: | The Chhau dance -- so-called because of the mask or shadow -- is an ancient form of ritualistic folk classical expression which survives in Seraikela (Bihar) and Mayurbhanj (Orissa). It is intimately connected with the Chaitra festival, and is a spontaneous expression of joy (anandam). In the new socio-economic set up, the dance needs to travel beyond its traditional geographical limits, to spread an urban awareness. Source of Abstract: Provided by Publisher | | Tools: |
