Abstract
The collection consists of audio recordings along with related photographs and videos. The project was mainly based on recording 20 hours of the Tejaji Ballad sung by the Mali (gardeners) community of the village Thikarda. But along with Thikarda, nightlong recordings were also done in some 23 other villages of Hadoti and surrounding region for a comparative study.
Description
The fresh recordings of the complete Ballad sung by the Thikarda village singers. This has been achieved in six sessions. To avoid repetition in the Ballad only two singers were asked to narrate the story. Thus the more experienced singer Jagaji initiated main lines of the Ballad and the supportive singer Phatuji followed him.
