Question

Dashavatara Theatre : Dashavatara is part of the folk theatre in

Maharashtra. Dashavatara shows are presented in the regions of Konkan and

Goa after harvesting season is over. The stories presented in these shows are

based on the 10 incarnations of Vishnu, namely Matsya, Koorma, Varaha,

Narsimha, Wamana, Parashurama, Ram, Krishna, Buddha and Kalki. At the

beginning of the show sutradhara, the narrator invokes Lord Ganesha, the

destroyer of obstacles.

The method of acting, make-up, costumes in Dashavatara shows is set by the

tradition. The show is mostly musical but sometimes there may be a few

spontaneous dialogues. The characters representing gods use wooden masks.

aarati, singing praises of the God.
