PS- PALASBARI (MIRZA) DIST – KAMRUP (ASSAM) PIN NO _ 781122 MOBILE NO – 9854491051 0 HISTORY OF SATRIYA AND MANIPURI DANCE Satrya Dance: To know the history of Satriya dance firstly we have to mention that it is a unique and completely self creation of the great Guru Mahapurusha Shri Shankardeva. Shri Shankardeva was a polymath, a saint, scholar, great poet, play Wright, social-religious reformer and a figure of importance in cultural and religious history of Assam and India. In the 15th and 16th century, the founder of Nava Vaishnavism Mahapurusha Shri Shankardeva created the beautiful dance form which is used in the act called the Ankiya Bhaona. 1 Today it is recognised as a prime Indian classical dance like the Bharatnatyam, Odishi, and Kathak etc. According to the Natya Shastra, and Abhinaya Darpan it is found that before Shankardeva's time i.e. in the 2nd century BC. Some traditional dances were performed in ancient Assam. Again in the Kalika Purana, which was written in the 11th century, we found that in that time also there were uses of songs, musical instruments and dance along with Mudras of 108 types. Those Mudras are used in the Ojha Pali dance and Satriya dance later as the “Nritya“ and “Nritya hasta”. Besides, we found proof that in the temples of ancient Assam, there were use of “Nati” and “Devadashi Nritya” to please God.

  • Classification of Indian Musical Instruments with the General
    Classification of Indian Musical Instruments With the general background and perspective of the entire field of Indian Instrumental Music as explained in previous chapters, this study will now proceed towards a brief description of Indian Musical Instruments. Musical Instruments of all kinds and categories were invented by the exponents of the different times and places, but for the technical purposes a systematic-classification of these instruments was deemed necessary from the ancient time. The classification prevalent those days was formulated in India at least two thousands years ago. The first reference is in the Natyashastra of Bharata. He classified them as ‘Ghana Vadya’, ‘Avanaddha Vadya’, ‘Sushira Vadya’ and ‘Tata Vadya’.1 Bharata used word ‘Atodhya Vadya’ for musical instruments. The term Atodhya is explained earlier than in Amarkosa and Bharata might have adopted it. References: Some references with respect to classification of Indian Musical Instruments are listed below: 1. Bharata refers Musical Instrument as ‘Atodhya Vadya’. Vishnudharmotta Purana describes Atodhya (Ch. XIX) of four types – Tata, Avnaddha, Ghana and Sushira. Later, the term ‘Vitata’ began to be used by some writers in place of Avnaddha. 2. According to Sangita Damodara, Tata Vadyas are favorite of the God, Sushira Vadyas favourite of the Gandharvas, whereas Avnaddha Vadyas of the Rakshasas, while Ghana Vadyas are played by Kinnars. 3. Bharata, Sarangdeva (Ch. VI) and others have classified the musical instruments under four heads: 1 Fundamentals of Indian Music, Dr. Swatantra Sharma , p-86 53 i. Tata (String Instruments) ii. Avanaddha (Instruments covered with membrane) iii. Sushira (Wind Instruments) iv. Ghana (Solid, or the Musical Instruments which are stuck against one another, such as Cymbals).

  • Culture Research Paper Musical Instruments Draft
    Musical instruments: the Forgotten Heritage of the Himalayas Nabila Siddiqui and Sejuti Basu Research & Advocacy Team, PRAGYA Introduction The human voice is believed to be the first medium of musical communication, the most natural and the most expressive instrument of all time. the primitive musical instruments appeared as the human beings started imitating sounds of nature, using sounds to protect themselves, sometimes, just for the sake of the harmony. Musical instruments evolved over the years from hollow reed or rattling of stones, to add nuances to musical expressions. Through study of these instruments, we can seek to understand music - a highly regarded and ever expanding body of knowledge. The Himalayan region is a composite of several cultural cosmoses rolled into one, each little valley or plateau with its distinctive cultural forms. Every mountain slope is, from the anthropo-geographical standpoint, a complex phenomenon displaying a whole range of cultural features/combinations. The Himalayan communities have a wealth of traditional art including the traditional music and dances. Music, an intangible art form is an integral component of the lives of the Himalayan way of life. The people possess a wealth of musical heritage comprising music and musical instruments, with a number of distinctive instruments and vocal styles. Folk music and musical instruments are intrinsic part of Himalayan culture. The music of the Himalayas reflects the unique cultural heritage of the region and the various ethnic groups across the Himalayan countries of India, Nepal and Bhutan. However, organologic study of musical instruments from the Himalayas is limited. An effort here is made to discuss and classify a precious few of the Himalayan musical instruments and understand their importance in the day-to-day life or the religious ceremonies that are interwined with the traditional social practices of the region.
