There are many types of plays performed in Karnataka during festivals, weddings and religious events etc. Varasegalu is a form of martial art and Kusthi wrestling, on other hand, has become a performing art by the wrestler in many ways. Bijli Varase is also a performance though not seen in Mysore. Katti Varase requires discipline, balance, concentration, tactical skill etc. Kolata, perhaps there is no town which does not have Kolata, it is a practice performed in every nook and corner of Karnataka. It is a rural custom that Kolata should be played during festivals, harvest and religious ceremonies for entertainment, it is folk art. In this the dancers hold sticks in their hands and then they sing and dance, it is a feast for the eyes. The leader of this group plays Damadi and sings the song. There are several types of Kolata: Geeru kolu, Jade Koolu, Uyyale Kolu, Koravanji kolu etc. Koravanji Kolata is one of the most attractive styles in Kolata. It can be seen in Mandya district, Hassan, Mysuru, Bengaluru, Tumkur and Chitradurga districts. It is apt to be called a dance valley. The speciality of this art is the attire of men, they wear Koravanji saree and play the role of women. The group leader appears on stage and narrates the story. Jade Kolata dancers play with twig sticks and there are around eight to twelve participants. It is also called twig play stick dance. Jade Kolata artists are found in Mandya and Bengaluru. In Northern Karnataka, this dance is also known as Kopu Dance. Katti Varase play is also known as the sport, it is the true art of the deadly sport. There is the use of personal weapons in this sport. The Stick play is similar in nature. It is a play for self-protection, but a small mistake can cost their life.
