July 11, 2011

Mangalore, July 11: There is a necessity to set up a University for Yakshagana on the lines of the University for folk arts established by the Karnataka government, demanded the Karnataka Yakshagana and Bayalata Academy President Kumble Sundar Rao.



He was speaking after receiving felicitation by Sri Idagunji Mahaganapathi Yakshagana Mandali, Keremane on the inaugural function of 'Yakshatriveni,' a three-day Yakshagana fest at Town Hall on Sunday.


Thrusting on the need for the constitution of a university like study centre for the in-depth study of indigenous art form of coastal region, he said Yakshagana tops all other folk art forms of the State. Yakshagana is an art form which represents Karnataka for the richness of the art, he said.


He also informed that the Academy has contemplated to publish Yakshagana text books for the school students, which would help the enthusiast younger generation to learn the art form. “The matter will be discussed in the next Academy meeting and the efforts will be made to introduce the books in the next academic year,” said the Academy President.


He asked the parents to introduce Yakshagana to their children so that the children can develop an interest towards the art form. There are several Yakshagana training centres imparting the basics of Yakshagana. The youngsters should make use of it, he insisted.


Responding to the felicitation he said: “I always question myself if I am really eligible to receive all the honour and respect from the people and the fact that I am a Yakshagana artiste makes me believe that I deserve the honour. It is only the Yakshagana which has helped me to grow as a person. Yakshagana helps in the all round development of an individual's personality, meanwhile, it also makes a place culturally rich,” he opined.


Mangalore University Registrar K Chinnappa Gowda informed that a full-fledged museum of Badaguthittu Yakshagana form will be set up in the Mangalore University soon. “At present, the Yakshagana museum in the University exhibits only the materials related to Thenkuthittu Yakshagana. With the support of the donor Dayananda Pai, the University has decided to exhibit even the materials related to Badaguthittu style,” he said.The artistes performed 'Subhadra Parinaya' in Badaguthittu style, on the occasion.

Belagavi, 12: Even though the investigation into the four abandoned country pistols that were recovered by the Karnataka police on the outskirts of Waghawade village in Belagavi taluk last weekend did not make any headway, the police are verifying if the weapons had been used by the assassin of Gauri Lankesh for training.

Four country pistols were found abandoned on the outskirts of Waghawade on Sunday. Locals informed that the police had taken the weapons for inspection.

Prima facie it appeared that the weapons were rusted and had not been used for long. Cases had been registered against unidentified persons and investigations were in progress.

After reports that the weapons could have been used for training by the assassin of Gauri Lankesh in the forests in Khanapur, a few kilometres away from the spot wherein they were found, police have been looking into this angle too.

Sources said the condition of the weapons indicated that they have not been used for decades but to allay doubt all aspects were being looked into.
