The author has tried to describe the performances, in which the performer gets engrossed, totally transformed and transcended to the world unseen forces of nature, impersonating the gods and goddesses by way of nature, impersonating the gods and goddesses by way of theatrical arts and exhibiting his so-called divine power by uncanny behaviour.
