| Description | Bhopas of Pabuji : The Bhopas of Pabuji mostly belong to the Nayak community. The Ravanhattha, a bowed stringed instrument with a resonator formed from a coconut-shell covered with a raw-hide provides accompaniment to vocal singing. The Bhopa sings various episodes from the narrative of Pabuji. The Bhopi, the female counter part of the Bhopa also sings some parts of the episodes. Bhopas of Devnarayan : The Bhopas of Devnarayan mostly belong to Gujjar, Kumhar and Bhabhi communities. During the performance, a jantar (a type of fretted veena with two resonators of gourd or wood) is played to accompany the songs. Usually there are two Bhopas who recite the epic, one is the main Bhopa, the Patavi, and the other is his assistant, the Diyala. When the Patavi Bhopa sings a particular episode of the epic, his junior partner, the Diyala Bhopa lits an oil lamp and illuminates the particular part of the phad, where the particular episode which is being sung is depicted. He also sings some parts of the episodes. The recordist of this event is Manohar Lalas. |
