Thali Nrity-Geet: An Adventurous Garhwali Folk Saucer Dance and Song (Garhwali Folk Dance-Song, Uttarakhandi Traditional Dance-Song, Himalayan, Indian Folk Dance-Song)

Bhishm Kukreti

The human ancestors were adventurous in finding new territories but were adventurous in innovating adventurous dances too. The saucer dance is an adventurous dance-song sequence. Many ethnic groups all over world dance and sing on saucers.
In Garhwal, Thali dance is very interesting among all dance-songs . The dance-song is performed many times on the occasions of Republic day in Delhi
In Minangkabau community, the saucer dance is very popular and is called ‘Tari Piring’ by the community. The ‘Tari Piring’ is invented by agrarian influences.
In Sumazau dance of Sabah nation of Malaysia, people hold a small saucer with candles on it and dance enthusiastically.
The Rakhien people of West Burma dance with earthen oil lamp and somehow similar to Thali nrity of Garhwali and both are devotional dance-song.
Ghamzegi or Quandegi dance of Afghanistan is also similar to Garhwali Thali dances except that in Afghani dance, the performer (woman) hold cup and saucer filled with water on palms and dance backward till she touches the ground. This is very thrilling experience for the audience.
In Nalbeki dance of Azerbaijan, the women dance with saucer and Nalbeki dance is performed by women only
Garhwali Thali or Saucer Folk Dance-Song
Dr Shiva Nand Nautiyal states that the Thali dance came into existence at the time of emerging Deepak Dance-song in Garhwali culture. If we watch the worshipping sequences by Rawals in Badrinath and Kedarnath, the Rawals waves lamps (Jot) as if Rawal s dancing and lamps are also dancing. In Gnagotri and Jamnotree Pooja , pilgrimages keep earthen lamps on their waving hands and then worship for hours . In KinkleshwarMahadev Pooja in November at Shrinagar, the devotees keep earthen lamps on their hands for hours.
There is no restriction on the numbers of dancers for Thali Nrity-Geet and there is no such restriction of genders. However, usually, the Thali dance-Song is performed by female dancers.
The dancers start the dance by body dance before taking saucers on hands. Then after, the dancers take the bronze saucer on their palms and dance in circle or other sequences. In second, stage, the dancer/dancers dance with saucer on the opposite side of palm. In last stage, the dancer takes saucer on the middle finger and dance with various sequences. The dancer waves the saucer on finger while dancing.
In some case, the dancer takes another stage of dancing on the edges of deep saucer. In most of case, the dance is similar to Bharta Natyam.
There is no fixed rule for the songs to be sung for the Thali nrity or Saucer dance. Usually, love, romantic or songs of agile or enthusiasm in nature are sung along with dance by the singers sitting nearby dancing sequences by dancers.
The song is very figurative and many interesting images emerged from the phrases of the following folk songs for saucer dance of Garhwal. In this song the creator narrates and appreciates all the actions of his beloved ones

RadhaKhandi Nach-Gan: Garhwali Folk Dance –Song of Love Rapture with Spiritual Senses

(Garhwali Folk Dance-Song, Traditional Dance-Songs of Uttarakhand, Himalayan, Indian Folk Dance-Songs)

Bhishm Kukreti

Radhakhnadi, a Garhwali dance-song is a song and dance of love of rapture. The base of songs and dances are the love between Radha and Krishna, between Rukmani and Krishna and Chandravali and Krishna . The love of Radha-Krishna had been the sign of high standard without any sin, without any desire for body for years. The love between Rukmani and Krishna had been the sign of a pure love between husband and wife and definitely, there is the question of possessiveness of wife for her husband. The dance-songs are based on the above two love stories which, have been there in Indian scenes for centuries.
Badi-Badan and Mirasi-Mirasan (the professional dancing-singing classes) perform these Garhwali folk dance-songs. Usually, Radhkhandi folk dance-song is performed in spring season.
The Bad0-Badan or Mirasi-Mirasan use the folk music instruments dholki (drum) and sarangi (string instrument) for performing Radhakhandi folk dance-songs.
Before starting the dance-song, the people including dance-song performers worship lord Krishna, Radha and Rukmani. The dance is free in dancing and is certainly entertaining and ritual too.
The songs for Radhakhandi are always in poetic dialogue system. The dialogues are between Krishna and Radha, between Rrukmani and Krishna and between Chandravali and Krishna.
The dances are of varied nature and are with high drama of eternal love between Krishna and his lovers as Radha, Rukmani or Chandravali. Many times Krishna comes in female form to tease Radha, Rukmani or Chandravali. The forms of love by Krishna are exhibited in many ways and means while dancers are performing dances.
In old age, the Mirasi-Mirasan or Badi-badan used to entertain the Kings, ministers and Thokdars of Garhwal by Radhakhandi dance-song. The dancers perform with dramatic ways that is performance by eyes, feet, body and hands.
An Example of Folk Song for Radhakhandi Dance-Song

The following song of Radhakhandi folk dance is having figures of speeches and the last part of each verse/line creates a very sensational sound too

राधा कृष्ण नाच- गाण कु गीत

कृष्ण: तेरा खुटु का घुंघुरू बाजा, छनना , छनना , छन-छन

Chhopati Nritygeet : A Folk Dance Song Style of Ravain Jaunpur Region
Bhishma Kukreti

(Folk Dance song of Garhwal, Folk Dance Songs of Kumaun, Himalayan folk dances and folk songs)
Chhopati dance song is popular dance song style of Ravain-Jaunpur regions of Tihri Garhwal and Uttarkashi . As Chanchari, the Chhopati dance song is a group dance of females and males performed in circle. Females dance on exclusive half circle and males dance on separate half circle. The males do not touch females and vice versa but the circle is always one.
In chhopati folk dance, the dancers take hands on others back and catch the hand of third dancers. Then the dancers take two steps in front and one step back and dance on the same place and the dance keep on the same way for hours. The song is dialogue oriented. The male or female group asks question and other group answers through song. The second group or group which answers repeats the last stanza of first group. This dance sequence is called ‘komal pad nrity’ (soft stepped dance) .
The subjects of Chhopati may have variations. However, now a days, Chhopati is related to love subject only and is union of lovers (Sanyog and sambhog) . The dancers do acts the performance of lovers while dancing. Chhopti is not about sad situation and usually, the following emotions are clearly experienced: laughter, smile, pleasure, zeal, agile, surprise, thrill, recollection, arrogance, eagerness, , happiness etc. The subject of songs are longing, fancy, desire of union, wishful union, propensity and trust.
Another specialty of Garhwali Chhapoti folk song is that a ‘Tek’ is repeated in each stanza in the song as in following song Meri Bhagyani Bau मेरी भग्यानी बौ ‘tek’is repeated in each stanza .
