It’s the second day of carnival.The serene village is already enveloped by the moonless night. An all-male group, all Catholics, decked in traditional attire - a dhoti, a jacket, a colourful turban, ghungroos (ankle bells) on the left foot- and carrying a musoll (pestle), starts gathering at the mandda khuris. The village suddenly comes alive with the clanging of the bells at the small chapel. After lighting candles and reciting a Christian prayer before the cross, the mussoll dance is performed by pounding pestles into the ground. The dance over, the performers then march in procession holding lit torches to the San Tiago chapel, where the sequence is repeated. From here, they march from house to house performing the mussoll dance or the mussllam khell to the accompaniment of percussion instruments as they sing the musoll song.
"It's a ritual that has been kept alive by residents. The dance is performed by Chandor's Chardo gaonkars (the descendents of the original founders of the village commune). It's unique to Chandor. It used to be performed with much more zest and gusto during our younger days, but now that sort of enthusiasm is sadly lacking," an elderly resident who had gathered to watch the dance, said.
