Description

A mask is an object normally worn on the face, typically for protection, disguise, performance, or entertainment, and often employed for rituals and rites. Masks have been used since antiquity for both ceremonial and practical purposes, as well as in the performing arts and for entertainment. They are usually worn on the face, although they may also be positioned for effect elsewhere on the wearer's body.

ಮುಖವಾಡ ಎಂದರೆ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ ರೂಪ ಮರೆಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು, ಮುಖಚರ್ಯೆ ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಲು ಬಳಸುವ ಸಾಧನ (ಮಾಸ್ಕ್). ಧಾರ್ಮಿಕ ವಿಧಿ ವಿಧಾನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, ನಾಟಕಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಇತರ ಆಟಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮುಖವಾಡಗಳ ಬಳಕೆಯನ್ನು ಕಾಣಬಹುದು. ಪ್ರಾಚೀನ ಮಾನವ ವಿವಿಧ ನಂಬಿಕೆಗಳ ಹಿನ್ನೆಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇಂತಹ ಮುಖವಾಡಗಳನ್ನು ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿಕೊಂಡ. ಮುಖವಾಡೆ ಧರಿಸುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಅತಿಮಾನುಷತೆಯನ್ನು ಪ್ರದರ್ಶಿಸುವ ಉದ್ದೇಶ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ಜಗತ್ತಿನ ಎಲ್ಲ ಕಡೆ ವ್ಯಕ್ತವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಮುಖದ ರಕ್ಷಣೆಗಾಗಿಯೂ ಮುಖವಾಡಗಳ ಬಳಕೆಯಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದುದು. ಈಗಲೂ ಬಳಕೆ ಆಗುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ಕಂಡುಬರುತ್ತದೆ.
