DIVLI FOLK DANCE || SADBHAV CHRISTMAS 2023

Divli folk dance of Goa and Qawwali were performed to communicate the message of Christmas at Sadbhav Christmas – a Christmas celebration with people from different Faith communities, organized by the Society of Pilar, an indigenous congregation. It was held on December 16 at Pilar Pilgrim Centre in Pilar, situated some 10 km east of Panaji, the capital of Goa state. Eight elegant women dancers held lighted brass lamps on the top of their head and moved gracefully producing elegant gestures. One such movement was of a dancer holding an infant depicting Mary with the new born child Jesus and the rest of the dancers encircling Mary in ethereal motions. This scene was the most blissful to behold as Mary rose and sat amidst the encircling glow of the lamps. The scene can be seen as depicting Jesus as the light to the world. As the musicians played the traditional instruments, the singer sang “Pailem Naman Yeshuchea paiam kadde, sakshat yeshu pragatla” (Bowing at the feet of Jesus, He is made known in person). “To my knowledge, this could be a first instance in Goa, wherein the lamp folk dance is used to meaningfully communicate the Christmas message in the context of the local culture,” said Father Elvis Fernandes, the convener of Sadbhav. The Lamp dance was performed by Mosamkar Kulaswamini Kala Sangh, Anjunem Morlem Colony, located in Sattari Goa, 34 km northeast of Panaji.
