Panchanarigathya-Maske
Die Panchanarigata-Maske ist eine sehr attraktive Kreation. Es sind mehrere weibliche Gesichter entstanden. Die Panchanarigata-Masken wurden in den beschreibenden Versen wie folgt beschrieben:
Wie Gataya leuchtet – auf diese Weise wurde Panchnarigataya geschaffen
Dies kann als Maske gezeigt werden, die die Fähigkeiten des Handwerkers bei der Herstellung wunderschöner Kreationen zeigt. Die auf dem Gesicht der Tänzerin befestigte Maske ähnelt dem Gesicht einer schönen Frau. Der obere Teil ähnelt einer Krone. Die Maske wurde entworfen, um das Gesicht von fünf Frauen gemeinsam zu zeigen. Die lokalen Designvarianten sind in der Panchanari-Gruppe enthalten und diese Maske ist endemisch in der traditionellen Tanzgruppe Mirissa.
