सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Public celebrations are a way of life. The 'Dhol-Tasha' troupes are the heart of the 'Kalla' during festivals. In Mumbai, 'Kalla' is often used to describe the 'vibe' of a new hangout spot or a Bollywood movie release. In villages, 'Kalla' might refer to the loud cheering during 'Tamasha' (folk theater) or 'Kusti' (wrestling) matches. Modern Marathi professionals use 'Kalla' ironically to lighten the mood during stressful projects.
