District Census Handbook, the Dangs, Part XII a & B, Series-7 Dangi A divas is are ve,y fond of dance in which the whole Danf{is Community-men and women, young and old can share alike. They specifically never invite or call for dances by any-body. But obviously and automdtically they came out from their houses and join for dances by hearing the music of Dholak. Dances are performed in the evening and sometimes throuf{hout the night. Drum music play an important part Ifl their dances" They use certain musical instruments viz. Tadapa, Dholak, Shahnai, Madan, Manjira and Brass plme(Thali) at the time of dances. Their dance takes an interesting formation, centering round a group of men, singers and drummers. This group stands in the middle of an open space and they begin to play upon their instruments. There are different tunes for the different dances known as 'Chalos' according to the steps involved or according to the birds and beast which the movements of the da,nces try to imitate. There are 27 chalos or tunes such as slow motion tune, two steps tune, three steps tune, wail/ing tune, the sparrow tune, the crocodile step tune, chicken step tune, J opio chalo, Mohani chalo, Morna chalo, Bahino chalo, Malina chalo, Zavda chalo, Bhajania chalo, Kamar Modiya chalo, Sainak chalo etc. Some time dancer puts fire in his mouth and also spreads fire on his body. But surprisingly, no signs or dots offire are found on his body. Dancing play an important role in Dangi's enjoyment and amusement. By dancing, they remove the tedium and exhaustion of the day alld refresh themselves. (Drawing by A. A.

The Par-Tapi-Narmada link takes off from the Paikhed barrage. The initial part of the link consists of a 12.70 km long tunnel connecting Jheri to Nar river upstream of Paikhed dam. The canal part of the link starts from Paikhed barrage which is located 4.60 km downstream of the Paikhed dam. The FSL of the canal at Paikhed barrage is 142.800 m. The link canal on its way to Ukai reservoir on Tapi river is fed by the storages envisaged at Chasmandva, Chikkar, Dabdar and Kelwan reservoirs through feeder pipelines. The link canal after irrigating the command en-route, outfalls into the Ukai reservoir at FSL105.275 m and takes off from the Ukai reservoir with FSL 81.790 m and finally outfalls into the Miyagam branch canal at RD16.70 km of the Narmada main canal system.
