Answer:
Folk Tradition of Karnataka
Folklore is the traditional knowledge, culture and practices of commoners’ mainly rural inhabitants which are passed orally from individual to individual. Folklore of a society is rarely written or published. According to Prof. D.Javare Gowda and Prof. G.S.Paramashiviah, folklore is the mother root of a nation’s culture. Karnataka has a rich folklore repository in the form of ballads, riddles, legends, stories, proverbs, dance forms, customs, cuisines, festivals, sports and medicinal remedies.
Folk forms of Karnataka: The various forms of folk literature in Kannada can be found in the form of stories, riddles, proverbs and ballads. In folk dance we have dance like Karadi kunita, Kamsale, Kolata, Veeragaase, Nandidwaja kunita, etc. In folk theater we have plays like Yakshagana, Dodaata, Sanaata and puppetry like Sutrada bombe aata and Togalu bombe aata. With painstaking efforts a vast number of Kannada folk songs have been discovered. Authors of folk songs are anonymous and weave their songs without being aware of the rules of grammar and metre or with the knowledge of notes and scales.
