| Vomedh stages SNA approved 'Gadd Bateh' to showcase unique KP culture in Jammu | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 16: Vomedh today staged its famous comedy play 'Gadd Bateh' approved by Sangeet Natak Akademi, New Delhi at Abhay Higher Secondary School Auditorium before a jam-packed hall of audience.
Kiran Raina, Principal of the School was the Chief Guest on the occasion.
The play a hilarious satire on the pangs of migration of Kashmiri Pandits and their urge to continue the age-old traditions in different environs was well received by the jam-packed audience bringing back the old memories of the pre-migration days when Kashmiri Pandits would celebrate the ritual of 'Gadd Bateh' with great festivity in Kashmir.
The Play written by Rakesh Roshan Bhat and directed by Rohit Bhat, the brother-duo known for their super hit plays like Ek Aur Birbal, Choper Yei Gaash, Khoya Bachpan, Atteeth ke Saakhshi etc revolves around a Kashmiri Pandit who celebrates all the Kashmiri Pandit festivals to keep the culture alive in exile but has not been able to celebrate "Gadd Bateh" because he did not own a house for 32 years in Jammu.
Now when he finally builds a house of his own he wants to celebrate it quietly. But the other characters like daughter-in-law, fish loving neighbor and the 'Ghar Devta' himself make it a memorable, satirical and hilarious for him.
The playwright through this play wants to convey that the Valley of Kashmir is known as "Valley of Saints And Deities" and Kashmiri Pandits celebrated the specific days invoking the blessings of these saints and deities with lot of fervor and devotion.
The winter in Kashmir was the harbinger of festivities and celebrations for Kashmiri Pandits like the "Gadd Bateh", "Yakhshya Amawasya" and the grand "Herath" etc. |
