Deknni

Dekhṇi (also spelled Dekni, Dekni, Dekhṇi) is a semi classical Goan (Indian) dance form. The plural of dekṇi in Konkani remains the same. One of the most famous Deknni songs is Hanv Saiba Poltodi Vetam by Carlos Eugenio Ferreira (1860–1926) first published in Paris in 1895 and then in Goa in 1926. The song was adapted by Raj Kapoor as Na mangoon sona chandi in his Hindi movie Bobby. The story that is depicted in this song is about two temple dancers who want to go for Damu's wedding and they approach the boatman to ferry them across the river. The boatman says, "No! The river is rough!" The dancers offer the boatman their gold jewellery; but the boatman is still firm. "No!" he says. So the dancers dance for the boatman and this time he ferries them across the river.
