Uttar Pradesh). It is supposed to be from the Mauryan period. The inscription on it is in
Brahmi script. The symbols known as ‘Tree-in-railing’ and ‘Mountain’ at the beginning of
the inscription also occur on punch marked coins. Another symbol which looks like a
structure erected on four pillars is supposed to be indicative of a granary. The inscription

It is supposed to be suggestive of precautions taken in the times of a famine.

2. In which script is Sohagaura Copper-plate?
3. Explain the importance of Sohagaura Copper-plate at the source of History.
2. Tamasha: Tamasha is a Persian word. It means a ‘Pleasing Sight.’ Tamasha developed as
an independent art form in the 18th century, by absorbing various traits of folk theatre
and classical arts. There are two types of traditional Tamasha, Sangeet Bari and
Dholakicha Phad. Dance and music are more important than drama in a Sangeet Bari.
Tamasha with drama as the main part, was developed later. It included vag, the dramatic
part, little later. The vag becomes very lively and entertaining because of its spontaneous
humour. The show begins by singing the praise of Lord Ganesha, known as Gana. It is
followed with the presentation of Gavalan. The second part of Tamasha presents the vag.
The popular plays like ‘Vichchha Mazi Puri Kara’ or ‘Gadhavache Lagna’ are examples of
the modern form of Tamasha.
1. From which language the word ‘Tamasha’ derived?
2. What are the two types of traditional Tamasha?
3. Explain the modern presentation form of Tamasha.
