63-year-old Nirmala Mahat of Butwal-7 Deepnagar was vigorously blowing the cornal during the tableau performance organized on the foundation day of the sub-metropolitan city. Most of his group were elderly women. Deputy Prime Minister Prakashman Singh Makkh was the chief guest of the program after seeing the enthusiasm of the old women who had just learned to play Naumati. After the new generation was not interested, the mothers learned to play naumati.
According to the plan of Butwal sub-metropolitan to teach naumati to the youth to make them self-employed, in most of the wards, the younger people did not show interest and the older people learned. Mahat also said that after participating in the 15-day Badyabadan training, she will now make this a means of income generation. She said that in the beginning it hurt her throat when she blew Karnal and gradually she got used to it and it became easier . He says that even though he was scared at first while learning to play
, he is getting better now. She said that she is trying to show off her income by making fun of those who are mocking her for learning the instrument in her old age. She said that she got the opportunity after young women did not want to come to the instrument playing training. 52-year-old Ishwari Basyal from Butwal-3 Jyotinagar also participated in the same training and learned to play drums and cymbals. "I have learned new skills instead of wasting time sitting around all day," she said, "I want to be an example that women can do it too." After learning, something will change.' She said that it would benefit them as they saw that women were playing the instruments played by men in other places too. She said that she was sent by her family to participate in the training.
Damodar Gyawali, deputy director of the sub-metropolitan city, said that under the preservation and revival of folk culture under the budget of 2081/082, Panche Baja is being trained. According to him, the application of 10 mothers' groups within the municipality was included in the notice called by the municipality. "In the first lot, we are teaching 5 groups," he said, "After that, another 15-day training will be conducted." "The aim is for older women to learn and teach their sisters as well," he said.
Parvati Jisi of Butwal-9 said that this skill is beneficial for women like her. "We are going to play during religious events, weddings, and pujas," she said. Photo: Sanju/Kantipur
