Dandiya in cultural capital city - Pune Part 3!
Dandiya... I have heard this word during my young age and seen this on couple of Tamil movies. And I had a fair idea about Dandiya from my friends during young age. There is also similar culture in Tamil Nadu where it is similar to Dandiya but not exactly. It was originated from village where ladies dance during festival occasion around pots clapping their hands. This dance is known as "Kummiaattam" in Tamil Nadu. I could able to know only from my school Tamil books and Tamil teacher. I spent most of my time in city and never been to village to see them.
I have seen Dandiya in Pune. It was for continuously for more than a week. I finish my dinner every night early and make myself available at the ground where people dance Dandiya.
Gents and ladies finish their day-to-day work and they will be present in the common place for Dandiya. It is the cultural get-together. I feel surprised. Reason for the surprise was and is, how can people take away time for such things. Though, this statement is not valid.
I have done small analysis and I ended up in below statements:
People feel that, they should not leave the culture. This does not mean that people in Tamil Nadu leave the culture. Chennai was once no-man's living place. People migrated from different locations and started settling in Chennai and we are also similar. So, the basic and custom culture is celebrated only in villages. Though, there is celebration in Chennai for important occasions and festivals, the form of celebrations has changed.
Holding and continuing the culture is real identity of any person. That is how, India is represented to other Nations. I will hold my culture as Indian, Tamilian, and of-course good things will be followed from other states as well!!!!
Though Mumbai is State's capital city and Country's financial capital, but (I have read somewhere that) Pune is the cultural capital city of Maharashtra.
I am proud to be in Pune!!!

There are so many people who originated from Pune and their lineage continued to be in Pune. So they get a chance to follow their culture, one among them is Dandiya. They feel proud and express their attachment towards culture.
