In this episode, we talk about the regional dances performed in the states of Northern India. After Jammu & Kashmir became the Union Territories, Himachal Pradesh is now the extreme north state of India. The beautiful dance form of Himachal Pradesh that we talk about is Nati, which is also in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest folk dance. The dance originated from Kullu district and is usually performed during cultural events. The group dance usually narrates local stories and the instruments used are dhol, nagada, shehnai etc.  Moving on to Uttarakhand, this state is divided into regions of Garhwal and Kumaon. In Garhwal, the folk dance is Langvir Nritya, which is very popular there. This dance is primarily performed by men and is done in an acrobatic form using a bamboo pole fixed in one place. The dancers climb up the pole and then balance themselves on the top by laying down on their stomachs. Under the pole, there are various musicians playing folk and traditional music with the help of Dhol and Damaru.  Undoubtedly, the most popular dance form Punjab is Bhangra but the folk dance that we want to talk about is Giddha which is performed by women wearing colorful clothes and tying a braid. The typical style of doing Giddha is jerking the shoulders and clapping in a specific style while the singing style is known as Boliyan.  The folk dance  that we have selected from Uttar Pradesh is Charkula which is performed by women carrying 108 lit diyas (oil lamps) on their heads. It is done to praise Lord Krishna and the balancing act is not very easy to master. The folk dance of Haryana that we touch upon is Faag, means Fagun season. This dance form is done before the harvesting season to express the joy of the farmers. It is performed by both men and women on the beats of dhol, nagada and many others.  Enjoy all this information in podcast format now. www.chimesradio.com FB: https://www.facebook.com/chimesradio/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vrchimesradio/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChimesRadio

“Trunks N Wheels” is Chimes Radio’s unique offering focussed on introducing the various cultural elements of India to our young listeners. And we achieve this by hopping on to a journey that takes us across different States and Union territories of our vast and culturally rich country. We introduce our audience from an early age to nuances of living in a diverse country like India and start to appreciate that while we all come from different regions and enjoy our own heritage, we are all united by a common thread of being Indian and must respect each other’s traditions, beliefs and lifestyles to live in harmony.

The highest result of education is tolerance - Helen Keller
