Dekhni
Dekhni in Konkani languages means "bewitching beauty". The song-cum-dance performed only by women to the accompaniment of folk drum "Ghumat", displays a rare blend of Indian and western cultures. The dance enacts the life of a "Devadasi" girl whose job is to perform dance in temples and social ceremonies like weddings.
The theme is of a Devdasi girls who comes to a riverbank to take a ferry to reach the other side where she has an appointment to dance in a wedding. She requested the adamant boatman for a favour and is even ready to offer him her golden earring for taking her across urgent.
