Paskam Khell (Easter Khell) 20.4.2014


Zomnivoilo Khell

Khell (Folk Plays) were not only popular during 3 days of Carnival but during the whole Easter week and beyond.  Khell during the Easter were known as ‘Paskam Khell’ (Easter Khell).

But Paskam Khell is fast dying out. Very few places in Goa organised such khell during Easter.  We had a chance to witness Paskam khell this year on 20.4.14 at Velsao Razvoir.  A khell by Kalliz de Orlim.

Zomnivoilo Khell may also be known as Fell, Khell, Hell, Partio etc.

Government should do enough to protect and promote this form of folk art.

It may be reminded that the present day Popular ‘Tiatr’ is originated from this form of Khell.

Long Live Zomnivoilo Khell
