Kannada play stirs people's hearts with a message of harmony, humanity
Staged as part of the programme marking the death anniversary commemoration of Hirehal Ibrahim Saheb, the production was organised by Bhavaikyatha Vedike Trust in collaboration with the Hirehal Ibrahim Foundation.
Drawing its title from a popular line in a song by the 19th-century mystic saint and poet Shishunala Sharief, the play was more than a performance. It was a reflection on the eternal values of communal harmony and human dignity.
Directed and designed by Mahadev Hadapad, the play brought to life the teachings of Nagalinga, a spiritual thinker from Navalgund in Dharwad district.
Hadapad, who also played the lead role of Nagalinga, delivered a moving performance filled with conviction and grace.
The supporting cast included Eranna Ainapur as Madivalappa, Gayatri Heggodu as Bheemavva and Manjunath Bagali as Shishunala Sharief, each lending strength and depth to their roles.
The play's message was clear: spirituality transcends caste and religion and calls upon humanity to move towards compassion and unity. It resonated deeply with the audience, many of whom were visibly moved.
The script for Gudiya Nodiranna was penned by Rajkumar Madivalar. Lighting was handled by Sangamesh Soragavi, while Fakirappa Kori and Veeresh Hiremath added musical depth with their tabla and supporting instruments.
Ahead of the performance, a short inaugural function was organised, presided over by noted literary critic Mrutyunjaya Rumale.
In his address, he shed light on the inclusive and interfaith ideals upheld by Hirehal Ibrahim Saheb throughout his life. The event also featured remarks by Station Director of All India Radio Hosapete M.S. Nagendra, president of the Bhavaikyatha Vedike Trust Abdul, president of the Pinjara Sangha Jaleel Saheb and president of the HP Foundation Dadkhalandar.
The evening not only offered theatrical excellence but also served as a reminder of the State's rich tradition of spiritual humanism and cultural harmony.
