HISTORY : Maharaja Gambhir Singh (1825-1834 C.E) composed two parengs of the tandava type , the Goshtha Bhangi Pareng and the Goshtha Vrindavan Pareng. Maharaja Chandra Kirti Singh (1849-1886 C.E) composed at least 64 pung choloms (DRUM DANCES) and two parengs of the Lasya type , the Vrindaban Bhangi Pareng and Khrumba Bhangi Pareng.The composition of the Nitya Ras is also attributed to him.I happened to witness Manuri dance repertoire recently . The Pung choloms or DRUM DANCES are indeed a marvel to witness.The trained drummers dance to the beat in a very harmonious way and a lot of rigorous practise is required for the same to accomplish such a feat.If RASA LILA is slow and enchanting to watch the latter leaves us dumbstruck!
