Abstract

The music is a notable element of Ankiya Nat and Bhaona. Ankiya Nat's music, a combination of songs, instruments, and dance, meets several needs and creates a sweet atmosphere in the performance. They entertain the audience in several ways, from character descriptions to religious advice. Music overcomes the deficiencies in performance. The music of Ankiya Nat reflects the originality of the playwright Sankardeva and his knowledge of Indian classical music. This paper highlights the effectiveness and theatrical requirements of the music used in Ankiya Nat. The paper has been prepared primarily in an analytical manner. The main sources are the plays of Sankardeva and various books and magazines are used as secondary sources.
