JHARKHAND FOLK DANCE

This form has a mythological / religious basis. The costumes are extravagantly eyecatching & beautiful. The dance form itself tells a story

of good winning over evil. The ehad movements are jerky and the body movements involve somersaulting with the masks magnifying the difficulty of such moves.
