FOLK DANCE - BIHU.

India is a rich country of cultural and folk art. There are all kinds of dance forms from Garba to Bihu. All traditional dance has long been a sacred expression of faith.

Indian folk and tribal dances are simple, and they are performed to get pleasure from them. Dancing is a part of daily life and religious rituals. Indian folk dances have eternal forms and rhythm. Traditional dancing is organised on every time, i.e. the births of children, festivals, marriage opportunities and the arrival of seasons. These folk dance of India are full of vibrancy, enthusiasm and energy. One of my favourite dance to watch is Bihu. The gracefulness in the dance makes everyone captive to it.

Bihu is a famous Indian folk dance, which is conducted during the Bihu festival in Assam. Local Assamese Men & women dancers wear some regional Assamese cloth and perform their local dance with brisk steps and fastest hand movements. They perform their dance with some local instruments including Dhol, Pepa, Baahi, Gagana.

Most of these instruments are made with local bamboo and this festival is one of the most colorful dance festivals in Assam. You can find some male dancers wearing dhoti and mustard color headband and women in mustard and red color sari. During this festival, the sound of flute and dancing to the beat of the drum goes to such a powerful level, that people cannot resist themselves to join these groups.
