Wishing everyone A Very Happy Bihu!! 🌳 🌴🌵🌸🌻💐🌾🌿🍁🍃🌹🌷🌻 🌱 Besides being a fiction author I’d like to write on mindful living, self-growth, spirituality (my blog - moonpearls.wordpress.com), holistic practices and cultural history especially about India and my state Assam. So from time to time I will be featuring these topics on my space accompanied by my personal experiences in the form of pictures and videos. Please give me your feedback on how you feel about this kind of content. Today I’d like to tell you about the Bihu dance, a folk dance from the Indian state of Assam which is situated in the north east corner of India. The traditional Bihu dance is done during the festival of Bihu in Assam. The Bihu festival is celebrated in Assam three times a year. The most important and colourful of the three Bihu festivals is the Spring festival "Bohag Bihu" celebrated in the middle of April. Songs sung in Bihu are woven around themes of love and often carry erotic overtones. People adorn traditional attires like Dhoti, Gamocha, Mekhala, and Chadar. The Bihu dance is a joyous dance performed by both young men and women, and is characterized by brisk dance steps, rapid flinging and flipping of hands and rhythmic swaying of hips representing youthful passion, reproductive urge and 'Joie-de-vivre'. Dancers wear traditionally colorful Assamese clothing. Both male and female dancers take part in this dance. Drums are an essential instrument in this dance and are traditionally called Dhol which is operated using a single stick. The dancers form a circle or a straight line and dance to the tune of the Dhol. However, there are subtle differences between the dance of the males and females. There are specific hip, arm and postures in this dance. The dance is highly brisk synchronized with the swaying and suave movements of the arms and the body.Besides the Dhol musicians perform many other instruments like the Pepa, Taal, Toka, Xutuli, Gogona and Baanhi which come together to form just the perfect beats for dancing...Source: indianfolkdances,mythicalindia,tourmyindia #dances #dancesofindia #festivals #festivities #culture #ilovedance #cultureofindia
