Question
Explain the following sentence with its reason.
It is necessary to preserve the tradition like Chitrakathi, which is on the verge of extinction.
Solution
- The practice of narrating stories from epics like The Ramayana and The Mahabharatha using wooden puppets and paintings is called the Chitrakathi tradition.
- The tradition of Chitrakathi belongs to the 12th century C.E. This is also called Pinguli tradition. In this, pictures are drawn on paper and painted with colours made from natural substances.
- The stories are generally narrated in a time span of half an hour to fifty minutes. The people who belong to the Thakar tribal community live in a village called Pinguli in the Konkan region.
- It takes 30-50 pictures to complete the narration of a single story.
- These pictures are preserved very carefully and handed down from one generation to another.
- These people still practice this Chitrakathi tradition. It is a source of employment for them. Preserving this antique tradition is also necessary to preserve our regional or local culture.
