Nautanki

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nautanki is a famous form of theater very much popular in northern India especially in the states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Before the advent of cinema in India, it was the most popular form of entertainment prevalent in these areas. Usually a nautanki consisted of folk lore and mythological dramas with interludes of folk songs and dances. But, now it has taken other forms. In many areas it has been restricted only to female dance shows. Consequently, this art is losing popularity and goodwill among admirers day by day.
