\u201cToday we performed \u2018Karbi\u2019 dance. \u00a0Usually, this dance was performed by \u2018Jahanjhati\u2019 tribe community people on the occasion of New Year celebrations and also their traditional ceremonies. We used musical instruments like dhol, moorik and dhol dhang to describe the dance form. We believe this dance brings the happiness for people,\u201d said Nilakanta, from Assam, who performed Karbi dance with his group.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are happy to perform our dance in Hyderabad. Today, we performed \u2018Mungyangta\u2019 dance of Nagaland. This dance is explained the story of Chanchu birds community. In every summer season, the Chanchu\u2019s take bath, swim and play with each other in Wosa River. This dance depicts the livelihood of Chanchu\u2019s of Nagaland,\u201d said Yambeni, who performed \u2018Mungyangta\u2019 dance with his group.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Sizable number of people attended the programme. \u201cI came here to walk around sometime in Shilparamam and I am surprised with these dance forms. India has many folk dance forms but unfortunately we don\u2019t know about them. These types of programmes will help to survive the oldest folk dance forms. I was enthralled by the \u2018Stick\u2019 dance performance of \u2018Loyumba\u2019,\u201d said Ramesh, a techie, who came to watch the dance show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
