A one-day workshop on traditional folk songs was organized by the Lok Virasat Janjati Evam Lok Kala Samiti on December 20 at Gangotri Garbyal Government Girls Inter College, Pithoragarh. During the event, Piyush Dhami and his teammates provided free training to students on Uttarakhand's vanishing folk singing styles, such as Bajuband and Jhumailo.Speaking on the occasion, Piyush Dhami emphasized that preserving these folk singing traditions and passing them on to the new generation is the need of the hour. Dhami has been dedicated to the conservation of these endangered musical styles for several years. To further this cause, he established the Lok Virasat Janjati Evam Lok Kala Samiti, through which he strives to protect this intangible cultural heritage by organizing various workshops and competitions.

🌟 The Cultural Guardian from Pithoragarh

Meet Piyush Dhami, a gifted Indian Classical and Folk Singer and the visionary founder of the Lok Virasat Tribal and Folk Art Society in Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand.

Piyush’s journey is a powerful testament to passion over privilege. Hailing from a middle-class family in Pithoragarh—a remote border district sharing its edges with China and Nepal—he grew up in an area where facilities are scarce and the value of art and culture often goes unrecognized. Yet, instead of accepting the status quo, Piyush took action.
