Mirago Naadi (Hindi)

Ganesh Rebari | Dhandhaniya, Jodhpur
In this story, Ganesh Rebari imbibes the essence of the oral tradition of the area while outlining the traditional knowledge and oral history of the traditional water systems of the region. This short story with photographs narrates an incident around a Naadi (a village pond) of his village-Dhandhaniya. The story is important as it comes in contemporary form with Marwadi vocabulary and with traditional symbols, metaphors and visuals that are linked with water. It is also important because it comes from a member of a marginalised community that still values the Nadis most, in absence of other traditional yet sophisticated water systems like Jhalara or Baori. The photographs in the story are also taken by the writer.
