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

At this Jagran it was noticed that the singers were very much dependent on the sound systems and microphones, without which they could not sing. The modern Dholak and Harmonium were used.
