MANGALORE, JULY 31. A seven-day Yakshagana programme will be organised here under the aegis of Srikrishna Yaksha Sabha, Kadri, from August 1, its founder-president, K. Anantharama Rao, has said. Addressing presspersons here on Wednesday, he said that episodes from the "Puranas" would be staged during the "saptaha." Entry to the programme would be free.
Felicitation
He said that seven artistes who were involved with Yakshagana for the past 30 years would be felicitated on the occasion. One artiste would be felicitated each day. They are Malpe Ramadasa Samaga, 94-year-old Tellare Anantharama Bhat, Keremane Mahabala Hegde, Puttur Sheenappa Bhandary, Mukhyaprana Kinnigoli, Aruva Koragappa Shetty and Shivarama Jogi. He said that S.S. Murthy, Director, National Institute of Technology-Karnataka, Surathkal; B. Hanumaiah, Vice-Chancellor, Mangalore University' Purandaradasa Kuloor, Mangalore Mayor; D. V. Sadananda Gowda, MP; and B. Nagaraja Shetty, N. Yogish Bhat and Krishna Palemar, MLAs, would participate in the felicitation functions during the week.
Promoting art
Mr. Rao said that the programme was being organised to promote Yakshagana and create interest in the art among the youth. Yakshagana was the part of the culture of the coastal and the Malnad belt. The youth should take the lead to carry forward this rich art. He said that since people might not have time to watch the show for whole night, the organisers had decided to have the shows from 5.30 p.m. and to 9.30 p.m. every day.
The episodes
Hiranyaksha-Hiranyakashipu Vadhe, Bhaktha Sudhanwa, Tamradhawaja Kalaga, Nala Charitre, Krishna Leele-Kamsavadhe, Panchavati and Karthaveeryarjuna episodes would be staged during the week. The plays would consist of Tenku Thittu and Badagu Thittu styles of Yakshagana. Care would be taken to maintain the traditions of Yakshagana to the extent possible, he said. The stage would be in the traditional style. The vice-presidents of the Yaksha Sabha, Pradeep Kumar Kalkura and Kumble Sundara Rao, were present.
