Chhau is the oldest masked dance in the world. Charida, the village that provides some of the best masks, is near Baghmundi block of Purulia district (West Bengal, India). Around 250 artisans from 60-70 families, mostly belong to the Sutradhar clan, are engaged in making these extraordinarily beautiful masks for generations. The mask-making process is indigenous. The main element for Chhau mask is paper pulp, besides clay is also required. For details, check it here: flic.kr/s/aHsjXbzjmb
