Purulia is not only the land of west bengal with rocks, forests, bright red Polash flowers and diverse tribal population, it is the land where still the powerful and dignified Chhau dance is preserved and practiced.
Chou dance is performed also in parts of Jharkhand , Odisha . Chhau of Purulia is unique for their extensive use of masks and costume. This semi classical dance form is based mainly on mythological stories like Ramayana and Mahabharata and recently also depicts important historical and social events like story of Sidhu Kanhu or Birsa Munda.
The dancers are male and female characters are also played by male, although at present very few female dancers are stepping forward. The steps are powerful, bold and with full actions.
I had the opportunity to watch Chhau dance in a village of Purulia, whether two very reputed Chhau groups performed in the Pala or programme that continued whole night.
The performances were mesmerizing with the background music, instruments, story telling through songs . The masks are big, beautiful and made in the village Chorida .
In 2010, the Chhau dance was inscribed in the UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
