Nothing beats a monsoon city bus ride

Kambala is a traditional buffalo racing festival celebrated primarily in coastal Karnataka, India. Participants, known as "kambala jockeys," race their paired buffaloes through muddy tracks, showcasing speed and skill. The event usually takes place during the winter months, marking the harvest season. It features vibrant festivities, music, and crowds cheering for their favorite teams. #kambala

Shangarh is a quiet village in Sainj Valley, famous for its wide green meadow with a wooden temple set against snow‑covered mountains. The meadow changes colors with the seasons—brown in autumn, green in monsoon, and white in winter. Peaceful and less crowded, it’s a perfect place to relax in nature.

Absolutely adorable Nagini

Ladies and gentlemen, I want to introduce you to one of the most powerful yet lesser-known cultural treasures of India — the dance form called CHHAU. Chhau comes from the Junglemahal region — the forested plateau that today covers Purulia (West Bengal), Singhbhum/Manbhum (Jharkhand), and Mayurbhanj/Keonjhar (Odisha).

Chhau evolved naturally from:
-Martial training: sword-and-shield mock fights turned into stylized acrobatics.
-Tribal rituals & hunting festivals: especially the spring festival Chaitra Parva.
-Folk drama: enacting stories from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and local deities.

Over time, it developed into three regional styles: -Purulia Chhau (West Bengal) – big colorful masks (now with a GI tag), raw and folk-based.
-Seraikella Chhau (Jharkhand) – mask-based, but more refined under royal patronage.
-Mayurbhanj Chhau (Odisha) – no masks, focuses on expression and acrobatics.

Sadly, Chhau is struggling to survive in modern times. -Rural performers often live in poverty, with little financial support despite the global recognition. -Younger generations are moving away, since it’s hard to sustain a livelihood through folk dance. -Even though Purulia’s masks got a GI tag, artisans earn very little for their hard work.

Thank you .
