Stories like Mogudu Pellam Katha, the story of a husband and wife who talks about the gender role in a nuclear family. Need for the Study In recent times The narrative term has had a great impact on a vast range of disciplines in humanities and social sciences. It is not easy to trace out the origins of Telugu folk literature or for that matter any folk literature. The cave paintings, line drawings found indifferent archeological sites prove the ability for creative expressions of prehistoric human beings. The narratives of songs, myths narratives, lullabies, work songs, women songs, proverbs, riddles has influenced research in the disciplines of anthropology, folklore, psychology, sociology and history. At the same time the concept of folklore has been applied in the profession of law, medicine, social work, education and psychoanalysis story telling is used in train up and organizational development and healing tradition. The fundamental premise of narration is that people give meaning to experience the stories. We organize our experience and memory of human happiness in the form of narratives. They shape our actions and behavior. It may be used in healing and therapy. Aims and Objectives Some of the aims and objectives of the project work. 1.

Introduction to Folklore of Andhra Pradesh Folklore is a tradition based on any expressive behavior that brings a group together, creates a convention and commits it to cultural memory. The study of folklore is vital for ideological, philosophical and hermeneutic reasons. The process of tale telling shows the identity of the folk community. In Andhra Pradesh the traditions of Burrakatha, Oggu katha, Pagativesham, Harikatha etc are very rich. The caste myth can also be found in it. There are variety of genres of the various performing castes and individual singers. Telugu folklore literature is classified basically into three. The first aspect is on genre basis. The second is on persons and patronage. The third is on its utility. Caste Myths A caste myth is unique by its structure and function. A caste myth is called a Kula purana. Names of these myths are formed along the name of the caste, like Gouda puranams for Rajaka or Chakalivaru [Washer man] and so on. Caste myths explain the origin and establishment of caste myths are important folk literary forms. They are very much alive and vigorous in functions right from the 11 th century. Each caste myth can vary from three hours to fourteen nights or at least hundred hours. Each caste performs its own myths in their patron family at least once annually. It is called Arthikulalu or Asrita kulalu. There are more than 50 77
3 performing castes myths in Andhra Pradesh today. These myths are in the Mahabharata for that particular cast. Ritual Narratives Ritual narratives are sung or performed in a ritual. It is also a functional narrative. They are the narratives of gods and goddesses. These narratives are performed in the jataras of tirunallas of the mother goddesses and the perantalu or the defined women Goddesses. The mother goddesses like Ankamma, Maramma, Peddamma Atalamm, Ellamma, Pochamma are the goddesses of diseases. They are destructive goddesses. They have to be appeased annually, otherwise they create epidemics. The best appeasement is to sing praises and offer animal sacrifices to these goddesses. These myths are performed from one night to seven nights. The audience listens with fear and obedience. They get into a trance while performing these narratives. Dalit castes like Baindlas, Asadis are specialized singers for these goddesses. The kurumas are singers for the male Gods Mallamma, Birappa and the Goddess Ellamma. Other performing castes like the snake chaimers or pamulavallu, Haaridasus, Satanis, jangamas and Saradakadus sing for all castes. Other important Epics like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Palnati Virakatha, Bobbili Katha, Katamaraju kathalu etc are popular among Telugus. Telugu Folk literature is divided into three; Prose or Vachana Sakh, Poetry of Geya Sakha, Drama of Drisya Sakha. Folk narratives are very popular in Andhra Pradesh visual media like Vidhinatakalu [street play], Tolubommalata[shadow puppet theatre], Patam Katha [scroll narrative] folk songs and tones make assets even today Palanati Vira Charitha, Katamaraju Kathalu, Katha are important folk literary genres.
