Domni is a type of folk theatre of north west part of Malda, adjacent to Bihar. It is a famous art form of  Ratua, Manikchok, Harishchandrapur block of Malda. The Domni folk theatre rises mainly from the idea of Santhal and Munda Devi Behula’s incognito as Dom Rani. No texts are present in Domni plays. Here the male actors perform as the female characters.

The plays are performed in ‘Khottai’ language which is the mixture of Bengali, Bhojpuri, Maithili and Urdu. He had the talents for both singing and dancing.
