Udupi, 16 April 2012: In recent time, many people show interest in the research of the folklore, but if the research is not consistent and not honest then it can damage the folklore art. In such study the part of truth becomes less and unnecessary show off becomes more, said senior folklore researcher Dr. Yerya Laxminarayana Alva. He was speaking on Saturday upon distribution of folklore awards by Kemmalaje Prakashan in the name of senior folklore researcher Bannanje Babu Amin.

 
Speaking further he said that, for the sake of making a show off folklore art is modified which spoils the originality. In Bhoota Kola, the filmy music is being played, making the Bhoota dancers to dance to that tune, is this right?, he said mentioning award winner Bogra Serigar.
