India is a country of traditions and the style of telling or saying every tradition is the story, that is, the story. When this story was told with gesture and notes, it became Kathak. When it comes to Kathak dance, the image of the plains of North India comes to mind and the houses have done this image. In these houses, Lucknow Gharana and Banaras Gharana of Kathak have been very famous. The houses are more and their characteristics are also unmatched, but what is to be talked about is a special style of Kathak, ‘Kathak Sitki’

Important role of spontaneous expression
The art of Kathak especially plays an important role in the style of its story stories. Kathak artists are not only able to imbibe the emotional tendency of the story during the staging, but when they are creating their mental paintings through the stage, they also bring the same emotions out from inside through facial expressions and physical postures. The meeting is one of the most challenging styles of spontaneous expression. It is also called a sitting price of Kathak.

In this genre, the artist sits and narrates the words of song or poetry and reacts only through his torso, hands and face. It does not have any complex position operation or dance creativity, which focuses complete focus on the internal life of the character. When the same line is repeated repeatedly, the dancer first starts with the meaning of each word (speaking) and then gradually presents a complete visual and emotional landscape (expression).

Bindadin Maharaj’s famous Thumri sat down
“Gheer Ghir Aaye Badra …” – This Thumri meeting composed by Bindadin Maharaj, the greatest poet of Lucknow Gharana, has been an ideal medium for presentation. This simple depiction of a stormy night gives rise to a wide emotional landscape. Thick black clouds are thronging all around, heavy rain is going to happen.

This external atmosphere reflects (keeps) the turmoil of the heroine and the disconnected loneliness of the beloved. Thoughts and feelings, loneliness and feelings, loneliness… fear… Anand. Every gesture and postures are reflected. Loneliness, because its bedroom is empty; Fear, that the beloved did not give him out! Hope, that he heard the sound of someone’s steps! Anand, that maybe his beloved is going to arrive. In this poem of just four lines, the heroine experiences the complex expressions of life.

Now, seeing the permanent of the whole Thumri, guess the sitting feeling of Kathak.
“Surrounded, Badra came,
Shine lightning, thunder ghanwa, rained stream …
Mora Jia scared, Sakhi Mora Jia Daraye …
Bindadin kahat, tan mora shovel, piya binu nervous … “

This Thumri has been presented in the meeting style in Kathak, in which the dancer only expresses expressions from his face, hands and upper part of the body. The song has special significance in the songs, Menda, Gamk, Bol-Bol-Bol and Rhyakari. In Thumri, the mood of the heroine appears through Virah and Shringar Rasa, which makes it very sensitive and emotional. Thumri is particularly famous in the singing of Lucknow and Banaras Gharana.

It is presented by many famous Thumri singers and Kathak artists, among which Pt. Birju Maharaj, Shobha, Girija Devi, Nidhi Narayan etc. are prominent. In Kathak dance, it has special status in the form of acting organ (acting organ).
