Himachal is a land of dances. Its dance
forms are varied and some are quite complicated. These dances
are an inseparable part of tribal life which reflects the
great perseverance and good humour of the human beings in
the face of poverty and death. The Himachal folk music is
the greatest solace to the poor people living in the remote
areas. The Junju Sukrat Bhunkh and Roopshu songs of the
Chamba valley, the Mohna of Bilaspur, the Jhoori or Sirmaur,
the Laman of Kulu are all rooted in the daily life and rich
folk tradition of the area and each has notable features
of its own. |
