"Jogis & Naths" Kalbeliya- the snake charmers a film by Meenakshi Vinay Rai & Folk singing: Kabir bhajans by Lalchand Jogi with Prakash Nath Kalbeliya at The Attic, 36, Regal Building, CP > 6:30pm on 2nd March 2012
Time : 6:30 pm
Event Details : ‘Jogis & Naths’ Kalbeliya- the snake charmers a film by Meenakshi Vinay Rai (25 minutes) and Folk singing: Kabir bhajans by Lalchand Jogi with Prakash Nath Kalbeliya
The Kalbelia are a Nomadic community living in the Pali, Ajmer, Chittorgarh and Udaipur districts of Rajasthan. Their main occupation is the catching and trading of snakes and the venom of the Cobra. Music and Dance is an integral part of their culture. The males play the music using the ‘’Pungi, Dufli, Been, Khanjari, Morchang, Khuralio and Dholak”. The female dancers wear long black skirts embroidered with silver ribbons and their rhythmic, sinuous, sensuous dance is a whirl of black and silver. (unfortunately not being featured this evening.)
When the Wildlife Protection Act was promulgated in 1972 it became illegal to catch and keep snakes as pets. Nobody seemed to have thought of the huge numbers of Kalbeliyas who lost their livelihoods and the very valuable service they provided in rural areas of catching snakes and curing snakebite.
This documentary film explores lesser known facts of Kalbeliya culture and is followed by folk singing using the fascinating musical instruments of the Kalbeliyas.
This programme is brought to you in collaboration with Chinnh www.chinh.in

The archival documentary on kalbeliyas by duo Meenakshi Vinay Rai has been awarded the best series of the year by UGC and has been selected as an important source for nomadic studies in national and international libraries.
