"Sacred World of the Todas" screening of the film about Toda people in Nilgiri Hills at Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), No. 3, Rajendra Prasad Road > 6pm on 13th September 2013
Time : 6:00 pm
Duration : 57 min.
Entry : Free (Seating on First-Come First-Served basis)
Place : Media Centre Auditorium, Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), No. 3, Rajendra Prasad Road, New Delhi-110001
Event Description : The IGNCA Film Circle has started two Film screenings a month on the second and fourth Fridays.
'Sacred World of the Todas' will be screened this time. A winner of 8 national awards.
Admired for its pristine beauty, the Nilgiri Hills in south India are also remembered as a space for traditional people like Toda, Kota, Kurumba, Irula and Badaga. Their simple lifestyle woven in a socio-ritualistic fabric creates a unique symbiosis of culture and belief system. The film looks through the eye of a Toda family, their surrounding and their interactive life style within nature where 'buffaloes' remain the focus. Toda religion mainly focuses on sacred buffaloes. Toda marriage is initiated in childhood and completed at maturity. The Bow and Arrow ceremony performed during the seventh month of pregnancy determines the paternity of the unborn child and its place in the Toda society.
Directed by Bappa Ray
Shri Ray will be available for Q & A after the screening.
