Description:: Haranśikārī (Haranshikari) ādivāsi ritual at the Hubli Free Settlement lead by Chandappa Jampanna Kattimani ("verandah house," a headman's title, as disputes are solved on his verandah). Kattimani was a Haranśikārī who held the office of Municipal Corporator, and who was the leader of all of the Haranśikārīs, including those who had migrated to other states. In a pandal, he begins by performing rituals to the devi altar to seven goddesses, dispersing incense for all as he spins, hops and shouts in a state of trance. Halgi drums can be heard. Participants include the sons and grandson of Kattimani. Kattimani leads singing and invocation, dressed in a long red skirt held at the waist by a belt of bronze bells. There are ecstatic scenes and dancing. The language spoken by Haranshikari people is Pardhi, a dialect of Bhil, an adivasi language.
