about

This track is dedicated to the historical drama of Devadasi and made as sound track for dancing act of "Mata Tribe" performing group.
In parts of southern and eastern India, a devadasi (Sanskrit: देवदासी, lit. 'female servant of dev (the divine)') or jogini was a term used for a young woman who dedicated her life to the worship and service of a Hindu deity or a temple. Devadasis could be as young as 7 years old when they were initiated into this way of life. The initiation or 'Pottukattu' ceremony is similar to Hindu marriage in some aspects and the devadasi was expected to take up the traditional duties performed by a Hindu wife belonging to that time period. In addition to taking care of the temple and performing rituals, these women also learned and practiced classical Indian artistic traditions like Bharatanatya and Odissi dances. They had a high social status as dance and music were an essential part of temple worship.
After becoming devdasis, these young women would spent their time learning religious rites, rituals and dance. They had children from high officials or priests who were also taught their skills of music or dance. Eminent personalities that have hailed from this community are Bharat Ratna M S Subbalakshmi and Padma Vibhushan Ms Balasaraswathi.
