Description
Saangit/Swang/Nautanki is one of the most popular performance genres of northern India. Before the advent of Bollywood, Nautanki was the biggest entertainment medium in the towns and villages of northern India. Often, 25,000 to 30,000 people would gather to watch Nautanki performances. Nautanki’s rich musical compositions, fine poetry, and humorous, entertaining storylines hold a strong influence over north Indian people’s imagination, and even after the spread of mass media.
