Othakallu – A Modern Dance ritual From The Ancient Indian Culture

Othakallu, one of the indigenous tribes of Kerala, is known for its music and dances. Othakallu Ringtone Download is one of the most requested Othakallu songs in almost all parts of the world. This is because it has a beautiful background noise that is soothing to all ears and makes one feel relax. The Othakallu song is actually a narration of the legend of “The Dancing Deer” by Wayan van der Vegt. This Othakallu song has been used as a musical composition for many years in its original form as well as in its remastered version that can be downloaded from a number of websites.

Othakallu is one of the most popular dances of Othakallu tribe. It is performed by women, usually called mothers. Othakallu is performed without arms or legs and the music is achieved by humming. Othakallu is played through an anklet made of thin strips of rubber, leather or string. This is accompanied with a dance called “Nyasa” performed by a group of women or men. Othakallu is believed to bring prosperity and is therefore one of the most celebrated dances during the Kalaripayattu festival.

Othakallu is not only an important dance form, but is also an important part of Othakallu cultural heritage. It is one of the four traditional songs in Othakallu ceremony. The other four songs are “Nandimbandha”, “Nandimukha”, “Benda Katti” and “Thiagarappu”. The most important of these four is “Nandimbandha”.

Othakallu is performed with a central theme and divided into three acts. First, the women come together holding hands and the leader of the women steps on the shoulders of all the women. Then the women sing a song that represents a wish. Finally, the women take a seven-steps around the drum circle, each step accompanied by a lyric. Each group of seven steps ends with a single line sung by the leader of the women.

Othakallu dancers begin their performance by standing on the edge of a raised dais with legs uncrossed. They bow to the audience and perform the two-step dance. As they move around the circle they sing a brief song, the last word being “Nandimbandha” while moving around the circle once again. The women then raise their legs, step back on their toes and sit in the exact position as they began the performance. In this position, the woman is considered a fully functional member of the society. The men pull the women up to the men and the dancing begins.

As the piece moves to the next part of the ritual, the women assume various footwork positions. For example, one dancer assumes the typical dancing position in which one foot has to be in contact with the floor. The second foot is out in front of the first and they both move around the circle in a circular pattern. This is referred to as the draping or wrapping dance.

During the draping dance, the women replace one foot in front of the other and assume an open stance. The man in the center takes one foot out in front and in a circle around the group. The women continue around the circle and one foot in front of the other while the draping continues around the circle once more.

When the othakallu is completed, the women shift to the standard standing position and the man in the middle takes his foot out in front again. He then holds his foot up in the air and dances with the others. This is repeated again until the group begins a new movement and so forth. The dance is not overly complicated and is easy to learn and perform, although some level of skill is necessary for beginners.
