A special invitation from the temple trust has extended to about 111 young members of the Shiv Garjana Dhol Tasha Pathak, a traditional drummers group from Nagpur, to play in Ayodhya on January 25. Although the performance on January 22 was initially favored by the temple trust, the congestion makes it impractical. On January 25, the group will now present their conventional percussion approach.
On November 20 of the previous year, our group traveled to Ayodhya and gave performances at five different spots around the town. Our performance was highly praised by the trust's members as well as the community.
This acknowledgement is a great honor for our team. shared Group Leader Pratik Tete. "We will be showcasing the traditional percussion style of Maharashtra, which is regarded as a celebration of the triumph of good over evil," he said.
The letter from the temple trust states that the group must pay for their own transportation to Ayodhya. The group's lodging and meals will be paid for by the trust. But this, Tete said, is sufficient. He said, "The itinerary is to leave on January 23, travel to Ayodhya on January 24, perform there on January 25, and then depart later that evening after receiving darshan and blessings at the new temple."
Although the location of performances will be decided by the trust, members of "Shiv Garjana" intend to perform in front of the new temple. The group will begin new rehearsals after Makar Sankranti. Surprises are planned by the group, such as bells, saffron-flapping young performers, and conch (Shankha).
A senior member expects guests to have an amazing time. They consider themselves to be cultural ambassadors for Maharashtra and Marathi art, and they feel fortunate to have received the invitation. A group of friends founded the Shiv Garjana Dhol Tasha Pathak in 2004 with the goal of preserving the dhol tasha legacy.
The ensemble, which includes members of different ages, has performed at important gatherings, including one in which Prime Minister Narendra Modi was present. A Marathi folk custom called "dhol tasha" uses drums and cymbals to represent victory and harmony.
