Galad/Kirla/Kato |
This is a stick with a carved
galad,
squirrel, at the top. A cord fixed to the head jerks the galad
up, producing a sharp click and at the same time bells tied to
the galad's tail jingle. It is often painted and decorated
with ribbons, tassels and feathers. Sometimes the face of a
fish or any other animal may be seen adorning the galad. The
galad is used by dancers, particularly in the Malwa region. It
is seen nowhere else in India.
