My experience on being travel guide;-) to my friend

My grand ma who used to tell me interesting stories about this place.Which made me show interest in listening to history of our place(tulunadu).My friends used to call me philosopher.Whenever they had any doubts relating to any cultural things they used to ask me.As i had more knowledge about those things.I was interested in Dharmik things(related to god) and histories of my culture.

     I had one of my friend named Nidhi. Basically she was from manglore itself.But she stayed in Mumbai. So she was unaware about the culture.She had been to manglore at the time of dasara. Manglore dasara is very famous festival which is celebrated our here.All our manglore we find pili nalike(tiger dance).And She was very interested to see that dance because it is one of the famous dance over here.It has its own history too.The people who dance will paint their body as in tiger and the steps are very unique and energetic.They perform stunts while dancing.The music itself is something like which makes us to feel like dancing.She enjoyed this dance.The band which is used in this dance is called thaase. Later i took her to kudroli temple.She was like "wherever we go there is pilivesha"At night there will be  procession.In which 9 devi will be taken and lots of tablo's will be there.The procession begins from kudroli temple.It will take a round in the city and later the procession will return to temple back and the visarjan of statues will be done in the pond of temple itself.The procession begins at night nearly by 7 and visarjan is done in the morning.As there are many tablo's it will be late while visarjan. Most of the tablo's will be of pilivesha dancing on the truck.It was first time she visited manglore dasara. We both enjoyed this festival together and i could explain her regarding our culture too.

       Tiger dance is so famous now like in every mehndi functions also the dj wala will play this song and everyone demand this song.Infact i love to dance on the music of pili dance.In one of the kannada movie they have danced pili dance.The film name is ulidavaru kandanthe.Here the pili dance was performed by famous kannada Actor Rakshith Shetty.My friend was fond of that song.She had seen that dance in that film.So she was asking me that she want to see that dance live.I called her to visit manglore dasara and that was the time we could enjoy pili dance.

5 mistakes to avoid while performing yakshagana

     Yakshagana is a famous folk dance of dakshina Kannada.Mythological and historical stories are being presented in Yakshagana. It is one of the beautiful dance form which is at present coming into light not only in our district but also all over the country.It has got its own steps to be followed which is very unique and beautiful.The makeup and costume which they wore is very beautiful to see.Its not easy to perform this art.One has to go through thorough practice to be a perfectionist in this field of art.It's not that we cannot learn to perform. Definitely we can perform by avoid certain mistakes.

1.The person performing the role of Devi shouldn't have non vegetarian.
When any person is performing Yakshagana(Devi Mahathme)he shouldn't have non veg on that day of his performance and he should keep fast on that day.He can have food(rice) only once in that day.Devi mahathme Yakshagana is being performed for god(Kateel amma).So he the person who is performing the role of Devi should keep himself pure without having non vegetarian.This art is not just simply about performing but its more about giving something to god(harake).So not everyone can play this role.The person who is playing,should be spiritual.

2.Steps should be clear
The steps which are in Yakshagana is very unique.This art does not have more steps.But steps which are performed is to be perfect and has to perform with that grace itself.The person cannot simply perform it.He has to practice each and every step.He has to with each beat(thaala maddale).He cannot miss those beats.One step in this art called as dhigina which is not easy to perform for everyone.So the person who knows it well only he has to perform.

3.The person must take care of his costumes
There are certain roles where in heavy makeup and costumes are worn.That person will not be able to dance for long.As I told about Dhigina which has to be performed by only light costume people.If the person with heavy costumes takes more Dhigina his costume which he had worn in his head may fall.So he has to take care of his costumes while performing each steps.

4.Performer should not use a single word in English while he is delivering his dialogues
Usually Yakshagana is either performed in Tulu or Kannada language.All the dialogues has to be spell in tulu or Kannada. That person who is performing cannot spell even a single word in English .He should have clear cut information about the topic or story he is going to present. He should have a loud voice while delivering his dialogues.He has to practice his dialogues properly so that he can avoid English words.

5.expressions are must in Yakshagana.
Each role in Yakshagana have their own ways of expressing.They should go deep into their character.Which help them to give beautiful expressions and they can connect to people well.For every performer expressions are must.

steps to prepare pelakai dha gatti (jack fruit rice cake)

Jack fruit rice cake is one of the famous food item prepared in Tulunadu. Manglore recipe is something like we prepare most of the food items using rice or coconut to it.It is one of the core ingredient to most of our recipes . Jack fruits is one fruit which is liked by most of the people in south canara. Jack fruit is grown during rainy season.From then on most of the people prepare this food item(pelakai dha gatti) and they have it in their breakfast.We use teak leaves to cover it.We can even use banana leaves but teak leaves will give a different color and odor to it.It will be sweet and we can have it with chicken curry(kori gasi) which is the best combination to pelakai dha gatti. If you are a vegetarian then you can have it with sambar also.steps involved in preparing this recipe is

step 1: Get a jack fruit.Cut the jack fruit into pieces and separate its seeds from it.keep it aside.One of the tough task involved in this recipe is to cut the jack fruit which is not easy.i used to help out my mom while separating seeds from jack fruit piece.

step 2: soak rice in water for 4 hours.

step 3:Grind the jack fruit with soaked rice and add pepper,cardamom also .Add  jaggery if required. Some jack fruits will not be that sweet so we can add jaggery to it.Do not add water.Make a thick paste so that we can cover it using teak leaves.

step 4:Add grated coconut and salt to the paste and stir it well.Let the coconut and salt mix well.

step 5:This cake is made using teak leaves which gives a nice color and smell to it.So the next step involved is add the thick batter of jack fruit into the teak leaves and fold it and place it on the steamer.

step 6:For first 15 min keep it at high flame.Let it first cook faster and later let it bake at low flame for 45 min.We have to maintain the flame so that it doesn't gets over cooked. 

step 7:After it gets cooked ,off the flame and remove the lid cut the cake into pieces.

step 8:Now its ready for serving.Serve it hot.We can have it with chicken curry(kori gasi) which is a great combination to it.Most of the manglorians prefer it with kori gasi which is a bit spicy.There is a combination of sweet and spicy.Most of the manglorians prefer to have spicy food so I prefer to have it with kori gasi.

         This is very delicious food item.we can have it as of our breakfast or even as our lunch or whenever we wish to have.Using jack fruit we even prepare dosa by using the same batter.Instead of baking it on to steam using teak leaves we can prepare a dosa out of the same batter by adding ghee which is very sweet and tasty.During rainy season in most of houses we can find this food being prepared.This very healthy also.
          Again the seeds which we have separated can be added while preparing sambar. Or we can just boil those seeds add salt to it and have. My mom used to say like during their childhood they used to boil those seeds and have which is very tasty and that could fill their stomach also.Most of the people in olden days were not so rich.They dint even had food to have in that case they used to have jack fruit.They prepared various recipe on jack fruit.One of the famous recipe pelakai dha gatti. And it is still mouth watering dish to manglorians. Rarely we can find people saying"I don't like this recipe".But people who are originally from tulunadu,staying out of this place just love this pelakai dha gatti. Its a common thing that people originally from tulunadu staying away from this place will definitely miss the food which is prepared over here.I have heard many people staying abroad say they miss the food a lot.

Natures love

Far of city! mind refreshing place....

 December... good time to visit this place.Morning 6.30 clickzz. Love to sit in this place alone and think peacefully of my life.The way to this place is also very beautiful.cool air,fresh air eye soothing beauty...❤❤❤

This picture hypnotize me to go deep into the beauty of this place.just looking into this picture makes me feel like I m really into that place. Grany's home is 15 min distance from my home.Very beautiful place.Mountain,lots of trees,green field and river near to this field which makes this place beautiful.No more houses near to this place as in we have in cities.houses are quite far from each other.River water is so clean and we all cousins played in water and even learnt swimming and we have many memories to cherish.We have rice field over here and our grand pa used to cultivate rice and we could practically see as to how hard it is to cultivate rice.
     

  Normally in my home i have rice two times a day but here the tradition is like all will have rice thrice a day.Its like morning also they have rice.but its not with the curry.They will prepare ganji(starch)and they will add ghee to it.This is a kind of tradition they follow.As the people over here will be working hard in the field so they need strength to work till evening,ganji is something which will give them strength to work more.My grand pa still follows the tradition of cultivating rice.As nowadays most of them have migrated themselves to city area and most of them have sold their field but we still cultivate rice.
         This place is very peaceful.No crowd.We can spend time just by looking into the beauty of nature.Sky,mountain and field makes up great combination.We have small hut beside this field where we can sit and just look at the entire field.Whenever i visit this place i just go to that hut and sit peacefully and enjoy the beauty.I just love to click pictures of this place.

Home garden..

My mamma's garden which calls me whenever i feel to click pictures.My new phone which made me show interest in photography.The phone clarity is so good that whenever any beauty attracts me i click pictures.My mamma had planted various flower plants of different colors. So whenever it rains i carry my phone to garden to click pictures.Rain adds more beauty to this flower.Rain droplets in leaves looks like pearls.

     Parashurama shrushti Tulunadu has famous temples like Kateel Shri Durgaparameshwari,Kudhroli,Kadri,kollur,venkatramana,Dharmastala Manjunatheshwara,Subramanya etc.Many people come from far away places to visit these temples.

My last week visit to Shri Krishna temple.

Last week I had been to Udupi shri Krishna mata temple.One specialty in that temple is most of the people have anna prasada in floor without any plate or anything like.They had a wish to be fulfilled so they have anna prasada in floor as they believed that lord shri Krishna will help out them to tackle their problems.

Kateel shri Durgaparameshwari(Eshtadevtha of most of tuluvians)

        Very often I' l be visiting Kateel temple.The people of tulunadu believe her a lot.Its like most of the wishes coming true.Food served in this temple is very tasty.Any number of visitors can have food here daily.
