Ang Barahmasa (lit. "ang labindalawang buwan") ay isang genre ng panulaan na tanyag sa subkontinenteng Indiyano[1][2][3] pangunahing nagmula sa tradisyong katutubong Indiyano.[4] Ito ay kadalasang may temang tungkol sa isang babaeng nananabik sa kanyiang nawawalang kasintahan o asawa, na naglalarawan sa kaniyang sariling emosyonal na kalagayan sa likod ng mga lumilipas na pana-panahon at ritwal na mga pangyayari.[5][6] Ang pag-usa ng mga buwan (ayon sa mga kalendaryong buwan ng Hindu) ay isang pangunahing bahagi ng ang genre, ngunit ang bilang ng buwan ay hindi nangangahulugang bara (Hindi: बारह) o "labindalawa" at katulad na mga anyong patula na kilala bilang chaumasas, chaymasas, at ashtamasas (mga siklo ng apat, anim, at walong buwan, ayon sa pagkakabanggit) ay umiiral din sa parehong linya ng mga katutubong tradisyon.[7]

Ang buwan ng Ashadha (Hunyo–Hulyo), folio mula sa pagpipinta ng Barahmasa (c. 1700–1725)

Bagaman orihinal na tradisyong pasalita, ang genre ay isinama sa mas mahabang tula, epiko, at salaysay ng ilang makatang Indiano[8] pangunahing modernong wikang Indo-Aryan kabilang ang—Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Rajasthani, Bihari, Punjabi, atbp., at matatagpuan din sa katutubong tula ng mga tribo.[9]

Etimolohiya

baguhin

Ang salitang barahmasa ay mula sa Hindi na salitang bara (Hindi: बारह) na nangangahulugang "labindalawa" at masa (Hindi: मास) na nangangahulugang "buwan".[10] Ang mga katulad na kognado ay ginagamit sa ibang mga wika, tulad ng baromasi sa Bengali.[11]

Isang paglalarawan sa buwan ng Bhadon.

Ang barahmasas, kasama ang saṭ-ṛtu ('anim na panahon') na genre, ay isinama sa Awadhi premakhyans ('mga romansa'),[12] Rajasthani rasaus ('mga ballad') tulad ng Bisaldev-ras ng Nalha Kavi[13][14] gayundin sa mga gawa ng kilalang makatang Braj Bhasha na si Keshavadas.[15] Ang ilang debosyonal na barahamasa na iniuugnay sa Tulsidas at Surdas na pangunahing may temang tungkol sa pagsamba kay Rama-Krishna ay natagpuan din.[16][17]

Ang barahmasas ay unang lumitaw sa Hindi at pagkatapos ay unti-unti din sa Urdu. Ayon kay Orsini, sila ay "marahil ang unang malaking genre sa boom sa komersiyal na paglalathala sa hilagang-India noong dekada 1860."[18]

Mga pinta

baguhin

Ginamit din ang genre ng mga artist at mga paaralan ng pagpipinta gaya ng 'paaralang Bundi ng pagpipinta' para gumawa ng ilang maliliit na pinta na naglalarawan ng iba't ibang buwan ng taon. Mayroong humigit-kumulang 138 Barahmasa na pinta sa National Museum, New Delhi. Karamihan sa mga kuwadro na ito ay nabibilang sa huling bahagi ng ika-18 siglo hanggang unang bahagi ng ika-19 na siglo.[19]
