Скачать или смотреть MATHURA LAMBADA OF TELANGANA,INDIA

The colourful Kaithi Lambada or Mathura Lambada is basically a pastoral community having migrated to these parts over 300 years ago from Afganisthan. The Banjaras or Mathuras were in charge of supplies to Sikh armies that were constantly at war with the Mughals.
The pastoralists settled in Thandas. Thanda is a vast geographical area which now forms part of Nanded district in Maharashtra and Medak, Nizamabad, Nirmal and Adilabad districts in Telangana. Their population is estimated to be about 2.5 lakh in Telangana and almost in entirety they have become a settled farming community.
The Mathuras used to wear their colourful attires especially the women sporting a hairdo showing a elongated knotted plait on the head. They call their traditional songs ‘Jayo-Jayo’ and call their dance form ‘Horiya’.
Another notable feature of the Kaithi Lambada community is their Bhandara or community kitchen. During specified events, the whole village participates in community lunch which is usually sponsored by one family. Like Lambada tribe, Mathura villages are also named after their local chieftains. The Lambadas and Mathuras also share the surnames.
There is a danger that this spectacular Culture may vanish in a few years from now. This prompted me to document and preserve this great heritage to the posterity before it disappear into oblivion.
