“Speaking up for women’s rights is never enough, especially in the wake of rising attacks, violence, and sexual assault.”
ANUBHUTI THE DRAMATICS CLUB OF JDMC🎭 cordially invites you all to attend a play "BHASAILI RE" by Birati Samuho Performers Collective
Behula, the much celebrated epitome of ideal wife from the medieval saga “Manasa Mangal Kavya” seemed to be an extremely devoted woman to fulfil every expectation from her of the patriarchal society. She is described as a very youthful, fair, doe-eyed, woman with accentuated breasts and hips who is expert to appease her ‘man’. However, careful reading of the saga unveils a prehistory of ‘Behula’ where she was a concubine at the court of paradise who was sent as an ‘undercover’ to the mortal life to help convincing devotees of Lord Shiva to worship the snake Goddess Manasa. In order to fulfil that duty, Behula had to travel with the co**se of her husband to heaven only to face lustful Gods who forced her to dance provocatively to earn their favour. This unlike behaviour of a ‘sanctified devoted wife’ was later criticised by her very husband demanding proof of her purity.
