PERFORMANCE

Tiger Dancers

For eons, in South Odisha, tribals under the reign of the poet king Upendra Bhanja inGanjam, performed the Bagh Nritya, a rite to appease the tiger goddess theyworshipped. In light of the immense threat facing tigers, the goddesses Maa BhyagraDevi and Maa Thukarani have evolved into a rallying point for tribals looking toconserve their precious forest lands. Narayan Maharana, president of a government­aided organisation reviving the folk dances of Orissa, says: "The traditional animaland tiger dance has changed over the years. Trees have disappeared and the forestcover has shrunk. "Tigers are (now) under threat in their habitats because of anintense man­animal conflict. The tiger goddess, in whose honour the dance isperformed, has also changed her message. The goddess now campaigns to savethe tigers. She orders her worshippers to foster man­animal amity and protect theforest."
