| Vomedh (Vemedh) Rangmanch celebrates Mother Tongue Day with evocative Kashmiri Play "Lalleshwari" | | Vomedh Rangmanch Brings Lal Ded's Poetry to Life | 
Srinagar, February 21 (Scoop News)-Vomedh Rangmanch commemorated Mother Tongue Day with a captivating performance of the Kashmiri play "Lalleshwari" written by Bal Kishan Sanyasi and Directed by Rohit Bhat, at Tagore Hall, Srinagar. The play, staged as part of their Repertory Show, transported the audience to 14th-century Kashmir, bringing to life the profound journey of Lal Ded, the mystic poetess. Suman Pandita, in a mesmerizing portrayal, embodied the spirit of Shiv Yogini Lalleshwari, captivating the audience with her powerful performance.
Lalleshwari, also known as Lal Ded (1320–1392), holds a revered place in Kashmiri literature and spiritual tradition. A mystic of the Kashmir Shaivism school of Hindu philosophy, she is credited with creating vatsun or Vakhs, a unique style of mystic poetry known as Lal Vakhs. Her verses, considered among the earliest compositions in the Kashmiri language, represent a cornerstone of modern Kashmiri literature. Referred to affectionately as Lal Dyad ("Grandmother"), Lalleshwari, Lalla Yogishwari/Yogeshwari, and Mother Lal/Lalla, she remains an iconic figure.
This evocative production, written by Balkishan Sanyasi and designed and directed by Rohit Bhat, featured the talents of Suman Pandita and Arvin Tickoo in leading roles. The production was further enriched by the musical contributions of Rajesh Khar, the narration of Ramesh Maratha, set design by Manzoor Ahmad Mir, lighting by Shazi Khan, and costumes by Bharti Kaul. Sushma Kumari managed properties, while the enchanting vocals of Shazia Bashir and Pallavi Kaul added a melodic layer to the performance. The lyrics, penned by P N Koul Sayil and Saurav Zadoo ("Malinev Hoe"), resonated deeply within the audience. The dedicated backstage crew, including Kamakhshya Dogra, Irfana Bano, Shashank Singh Rajput, Zafar Dar, and Gulfam Barje, ensured a seamless production. King C Bharati served as media in-charge.
