KIRVANT

                                   KIRVANT was very beautiful drama performed by Sateri Mahila Mandal Casarvarnem. It was performed during the Ramnavami. All the participants were basically womans from our village Casarvarnem. All performers were excellent in their role. The Director of this drama was Mr. Anand Naik and he is well known Director from Pernem taluka. The hard work took by the Director was seen in the drama.
                                  The problem of putting up of the stage does not arise as Ram Mandir (temple of god Ram) consist of one big hall with the stage. The stage decoration was done by the Kasarpal Decorators of Bicholim.
                                    Before the rehersal there was a audition in which only few were selected and some womans did not get chance to take part in the drama. My mother Mrs. Akshaya Naik was there in this drama she played the major role of Digambar Shashtri and my Aunt  Mrs. Jyotsna Naik played the role of Siddheshwar Shashtri's wife. Every participants were well prepared with their particular dialogue.
                                    The drama was basically depend on Shashtri's life. They show how the Brahmins fight within themselves for the "Antim karma" (funeral process). Siddheshwar Shashtri wanted his son to learn about the process of  "Antim Kriya Karma". But his brother Vasudev Shashtri was totally against him and he made Siddheshwar Shashtri's son to go school and learn.
                                        The drama was fully focused on one Brahmins family and how they were tortured by the other Brahmins. The role of Siddheshwar Shashtri played by Mrs Priyanka Parab was outstanding. She was totally engrossed in her performance. She got many cash prizes from the audience for her creative performance. Audience were enjoying the drama till the end and I enjoyed it too.
