The myth of Tej&amacr;j&imacr;, a minor Hindu snake-healing deity, is performed in the context of healing rituals in many locations in Rajasthan. After discussing the origin of the myth and its migration to the area of Chittorgarh, I concentrate on the ritual of healing performed in the local temples. I examine the music that is associated with this narrative, known as <italic>khel&dotbelow;&amacr; </italic>, the incidental songs (<italic>g&imacr;t</italic>), and accompanying drumming that are an organic part of the performance. I also discuss the spirit possession associated with the ritual.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The myth of Tej&amacr;j&imacr;, a minor Hindu snake-healing deity, is performed in the context of healing rituals in many locations in Rajasthan. After discussing the origin of the myth and its migration to the area of Chittorgarh, I concentrate on the ritual of healing performed in the local temples. I examine the music that is associated with this narrative, known as <italic>khel&dotbelow;&amacr; </italic>, the incidental songs (<italic>g&imacr;t</italic>), and accompanying drumming that are an organic part of the performance. I also discuss the spirit possession associated with the ritual.
520 $a The data were collected in several locations in Rajasthan, but principally in Bassi village in 1997 and 1998. They were based on observation of the public rituals and conversations with healers, musicians and the devotees.
520 $a The role of music and the healer's performance of trance and spirit possession are also examined. While the underlying motivations and efficacy for the ritual may be questioned by the community at large, the performance of trance and music remain believable, largely due to music. The music of the ritual is analyzed in the context of the healing trance and in combination with other musical genres as they provide an effective sonic atmosphere for altered consciousness. This music also lends familiarity, uniqueness, and authenticity to the performance.
520 $a I conclude that the idea of Tej&amacr;j&imacr; and his healing is dynamic and evolving, and music is a fundamental part of this process. Tej&amacr;j&imacr;'s myth is embodied and disseminated through music. Healing beliefs have been Hinduized and Rajputized over time, and used for purposes to further the causes of some castes under the rubric of local healing. Performing Tej&amacr;j&imacr;'s ritual healing reflects notions about snakebites, healing and death. It also sheds light on the underlying Hindu-Muslim tensions. Ultimately, I conclude that the perception of authenticity surrounding the trance of the healer is supported by <italic>khel&dotbelow;&amacr;</italic> music, which legitimizes both Tej&amacr;j&imacr;'s myth and ritual.
