CHANDALIKA (THE STORY ABOUT BUDDHIST RELIGION): This dance is based on the ancient Buddhist scriptures. An untouchable girl named Chandalika goes to the stream as usual to fetch the water. After washing herself she was intercepted by a thirsty monk named Ananda who asked her for water. But she hesitated to give him water to drink because she confesses him that she was an untouchable girl. By hearing such reply the monk says that human doesn't become touchable or untouchable with their social passion but only by their attitude and action. After hearing this Chandalika gives water to the monk, who goes away giving a profusion of blessing to the girl, then Chandalika returns home dancing with a joy.
