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
Mataji-ke-jas are like bhajan songs, sung in praise to Mataji, i.e. the female supreme deity of the village. Here the performance took place to make wish for a good rainfall during the monsoon.
