In this episode, we travel to North-Eastern states of India to have a sneak peek into their folk dance cultures. Performed in colorful attires, these are extremely charming performances but need amazing energy on the part of performers.  Sikkim is famous for one of its oldest tribe Lepcha and their popular dance form is Zoomaloki. It is performed to celebrate harvesting season and to break the monotonous life of farming.  In Assam, the Bodo tribe performs their special dance known as Bagurumba which is performed by girls around mid- April. The dance form is their devotion towards the love for nature which has been a big part of the culture of Bodo tribe for generations. Arunachal Pradesh has many tribes inhabiting its land, so the special dance form we want to talk about is Bardo Chham. In this form of folk dance, the men and women wear masks of the animals and pretend that they are fighting against the evil powers to bring peace and prosperity within the community. This form of the folk dance form is a kind of dance-drama with a message and thus this has got a deep significance within the people of this community. Nagaland’s Zeliang tribe is known for its Zeliang dance which has martial arts and athletics and the person performing it must have a lot of strength. Usually, most of the Naga dances are done by men but in this particular dance form, women also take part. They chant, jump and shout while dancing.  Manipur has a lot of local folk dances, including Manipuri which is known the world over. But there is another dance style known as Pung Cholom or Drum dance which involves dancing and playing the drums simultaneously. It is a combination of sound and movement and includes a nice display of martial arts too.  Mizoram, the southernmost region of North East India,  is also popular for its local folk dance of Cheraw. It is usually performed by six to eight people with bamboo sticks and is the centre of attraction in many festivals.  Tripura, which is bordered by Bangladesh on three sides, has its own local folk dances one of which is Hojagiri. It is performed by women and young girls singing and balancing an urban pitcher on their hand along with many other props. Only the lower part of the body moves in this dance form.  Meghalaya literally means home of clouds. Usually, locals dance here to pray to their gods and goddesses and the dance form which we talk about is performed by the Khasi tribe and is known as Nongkrem. It is a thanksgiving dance performed by both men and women to appease their Goddess Ka Blei Synshar for a rich harvest and prosperity of the people. 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

•	North India - We cover the states of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand.
