Regional folk repertoire, performed and adjudicated. Assessed on entirely different terms from the classical forms, which is precisely why it belongs here.

Regional folk repertoire, performed and adjudicated. It is assessed on entirely different terms from the classical forms — vigour, ensemble, authenticity of costume and context rather than anga-shuddhi and abhinaya.

It belongs here precisely because the criteria differ. Knowing which standard applies to which form is most of what adjudication consists of.
