    Telangana : Art And Craft

    Student name : Suhani Gosain Class : X-B


    Art forms
    ■ Some classical art forms received the royal patronage and attained finesse. However, the art forms of the
    innumerable communities spread across the length and breadth of the State give Telangana its distinct
    identity.​
    ■ While the Kakatiya rule led to evolution of dance forms such as Perini Sivatandavam, also known as
    ‘dance of warriors’, the commoners, faced with the challenges of daily life developed traditions of story-
    telling coupled with solutions to tide over them through Golla Suddulu, Oggu Kathalu and Gotralu etc.
    ■ Several art forms like above mingled and new forms emerged. The ubiquitous ‘Dhoom Dham’ is one
    such evolved and composite art form. They generally were about the struggle and exploitation. People
    adopted the old sensibilities of theatre and art changing the content as per the case and place.
    ■ A variant of Yakshagana, Chindu Bhagavatham is performed widely across Telangana. It is a theater art
    form that combines dance, music, dialogue, costume, make-up, and stage techniques with a unique style
    and form. The word ‘Chindu’ in Telugu means ‘jump’. As their presentation is interspersed with leaps
    and jumps, it gained the name of Chindu Bhagavatam. Most of the stories narrated are from
    ‘Bhagavatam’.​
    ■ Qawali, Ghazals and Mushairas evolved under the patronage of Qutub Shahi and the Asafjahi rulers in
    and around the capital city of Hyderabad.

    crafts

    bell metal craft and is widely seen
    in Jainoor Mandal, Ushegaon and
    Chittalbori in Adilabad district. The

    figurines, tribal gods, etc. The work
    consists of folk motifs, peacocks,
    elephants, horses, measuring bowl,
    lamp caskets and other simple art
    forms and traditional designs.
    Nirmal arts
    The renowned Nirmal oil paintings
    use natural dyes for depicting
    themes from the epics such as
    Ramayana and Mahabharata. Also,
    the wood paintings and other
    wooden articles, has great aesthetic
    expression. The origin of the
    Nirmal craft is traced back to the
    Kakatiya era. The motifs used for
    Nirmal craft are floral designs and
    frescoes from the regions of Ajanta
    and Ellora and Mughal miniatures.
    Bronze
    castings
    Telangana is famous world-
    wide for its amazing bronze
    castings. While using solid
    casting of icons, the mould is
    created using several coatings
    of different clays on a
    finished wax model. This
    process then imparts fine
    curves to the cast image.
    ■ About 76% of the population of
    Telangana speak Telugu, 12% speak
    Urdu, and 12% speak other
    languages. Before 1948, Urdu was
    Language Of the official language of Hyderabad
    State, and due to a lack of Telugu-
    Telangana language in educational institutions,
    Urdu was the language of the
    educated elite of Telangana. After
    1948, once Hyderabad State joined
    the new Republic of India, Telugu
    became the language of government,
    and as Telugu was introduced as the
    medium of instruction in schools and
    colleges, the use of Urdu among
    non-Muslims decreased.
