MUSAL DANCE
At the historical village of chandor in the kshatriya caste village's courtyard this musal (pounding mace) march - cum - dance is performed on the second day of Goan carnival. The dance performed by men who carry 'musal' a war weapon in medieval times, is performed with full Hindu martial even though the Kshatriya's of chandor converted to Christianity long ago. The dance cum song is performed to celebrate the victory of 14th century of the kings of vijaynagar, harihara, over the cholas.
This is one group of musal dance which we performed in VPC (Vidya Prabodhini College Parvari Goa) there is one function during ganesh festival that time we performed this dance n we got 2nd prize for this dance....Musal dance is one of the best dance n enjoyable dance in all folk dances...
फुडल्यान खेळ वैयता मूसळ्यान चो
फाटल्यान सळ सळ तिसऱ्या चो
एदी एदी सागशी सामराची
त्यातून बसल्या सायबिण भांराची
चलगो सुगटा कोंगरे जाता
कायलीन घातल्या सुगट तांबडे जाता.......
An important aspect associate with this dance is that it is performed by christians to praise a hindu king..The main day when the dance is performed is the beautiful full moon day of falguna month of the hindu calendar...
