Etymology

[edit]

The word Mohaori or Mahori is derived from the sanskrit word "Manohari" for female and "Manohara" for male and came into existence since before Angkorian period. Based on Khmer inscription, K 400 dated in 9th century, these words are the name of the male and female servant of Devatas (angels) which have the role of playing music. Moreover, the stone inscription K 806 of Pre Rup temple dated in 10th century, also associated with these words which used in the poetry "Kavei Manohar" means Manohara author.[3]

The word Mohaori is derived from these words: Manohara > Manohari and eventually became Mohaori until today. Based on this Khmer artistic evidence, this Mohaori art or ensemble is the name of an art which dated back more than a thousand year. Although, there were many obstacles (wars, foreign invasions,...) the life of Khmer people have been closely linked with this art and catch up with it until now.[3]

Moreover, based on a research Music and Dance in Ancient Cambodia compiled by Saveros Pou as confirmed as evidence in Old Khmer Epigraphy, the Manohara and Manohari were name of favourite (music) artist that does not exist in the present day. The form of Mahaori illustrated through the Mohaori assemble accompanied by soft-sounded musical instruments which make the liseners feel entertained, happy, and release stress.[3]
