Folk Theatre of Karnataka - Shambhu

Hegde & Troupe

Sri Idagunji Mahaganapathi Yakshagana Mela (Troupe) is one of the very important groups of Yakshagana. Idagunji is famous temple pilgrim centre, about ten kilometers southeast of Honnavar in Uttarakannada District.

The most well-known Idagunji troupe, also known as 'Keremane troupe' was founded by the great actor Keremane Shivarama Hegde in 1934. This troupe heralded a new age. Shivarama Hegde combined the two Northern styles - the 'Badagu' of Dakshina Kannada and the 'Badagu' of Uttara Kannada- the two sub- styles of Northern Yakshagana. The troupe made a mark on the field because of the great acting abilities of Shivarama Hegde, as well as, the new coordinated style. The troupe continued upto early 1960's.

Keremane Shambhu Hedge revived his father's troupe in 1974 and it ran eleven 'thirugatas' successfully. From 1985, it changed its organizational structure and is now a giving performances of limited duration (Shivananda Hegde, Son of Shambhu Hegde) is now managing the troupe, with his father's guidance.

The troupe performed the acclaimed episode 'Jarasandha Vadhe' at the Festival.
