It continues to have a marked presence in the State of Maharashtra. It includes forms like Sangeet Natak (Musical drama), Tamasha (folk dance), Ekpatri prayog etc. Marathi theatre started flourishing in the middle of the 19th century. Maharashtra has had long theatrical tradition, one of its early references is found in cave inscriptions at Nashik. People flocked to the theatres to watch these lavanis. Lavanis such as “Mumbai Nagari Badi Banka, Jashi Ravanachi dusari Lanka” by Patthe Bapurao and Annabhau Sathe’s “Mazi Mumbai, Arthat Muumbai Konachi” were super duper hits those days. The artists used to practice in whatever space was available to them sometimes varandahs, staircases and the open grounds.
