Each and every Chhau dance performance in Purulia commences with an invocation to Lord Ganesha, the Hindu God of Success - a prominent character from the Indian mythology.....

 

Chhau, the masked dance of the ancient warrior, is hugely popular across the tribal areas of West Bengal and Bihar. Magnificent outsized masks, breathtaking acrobatics, wild combat and comedy scenes accompanied by powerful drumming make the performance an unforgettable experience!

 

Chhau is perhaps the oldest masked dance in the world having originated in the soldiers barracks of the past when Rarh (part of Bengal and Bihar state of India) was a mighty military nation. In 2010 the Chhau dance was inscribed in the UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

 

Though there are three prominent Chhau styles today, the Mayurbhanj, Seraikella and Purulia dance styles, the Purulia Chhau dance is said to be the original and is the most vigorous.

 

Murguma is a beautiful place in purulia. It is a huge waterbody, a man made dam, surrounded by hills. Muruguma Lake and the forest will make your trip worthwhile. This place can be reached by car from both Purulia and Muri (Jharkhand) stations.

The boat recently completed a 33-month Engineered Refueling Overhaul, which will extend the life of the submarine for another 20 years. Rhode Island is one of five ballistic-missile submarines stationed at the base and is capable of carrying up to 20 submarine-launched ballistic missiles with multiple warheads.

Squamish Nation Pow Wow 2011 FULL REGALIA Dance

www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcnA5nUNSE4

 

Squamish Nation Pow Wow 2011 GRAND ENTRY

www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiL5R3ac5D8&

 

Native Indian bands from across BC and elsewhere congregated at the Squamish Nation Pow Wow 2011 held at the Capilano Indian Reserve in North Vancouver from July 08-10, 2011. They came to greet each other and celebrate their culture together at this annual event in their traditional territory of the Coast Salish land.

 

Aboriginal men and women in full regalia danced in the Grand Entry and participated in the Invocation. They also competed as individuals in different categories like in a sports event. The modern day Pow Wow is very much a family affair. The occasion presents an opportunity for the community to recognize the work and contribution of the native women. At the same time, the role that the younger ones can play is also very much part of the agenda.

 

Nowadays, many native youths live in urban areas away from the reserve and are increasingly alienated from the Land that the aboriginal society has such an affinity with. The Pow Wow therefore becomes an ideal place for the youngster to reconnect with their cultural being and way of life, thus preserving the native tradition that goes back thousands of years.

 

The Squamish Nation of BC is also part of the Four Host First Nations, a very important partner of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

Squamish Nation Pow Wow 2011 FULL REGALIA Dance

www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcnA5nUNSE4

 

Squamish Nation Pow Wow 2011 GRAND ENTRY

www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiL5R3ac5D8&;

 

Native Indian bands from across BC and elsewhere congregated at the Squamish Nation Pow Wow 2011 held at the Capilano Indian Reserve in North Vancouver from July 08-10, 2011. They came to greet each other and celebrate their culture together at this annual event in their traditional territory of the Coast Salish land.

 

Aboriginal men and women in full regalia danced in the Grand Entry and participated in the Invocation. They also competed as individuals in different categories like in a sports event. The modern day Pow Wow is very much a family affair. The occasion presents an opportunity for the community to recognize the work and contribution of the native women. At the same time, the role that the younger ones can play is also very much part of the agenda.

 

Nowadays, many native youths live in urban areas away from the reserve and are increasingly alienated from the Land that the aboriginal society has such an affinity with. The Pow Wow therefore becomes an ideal place for the youngster to reconnect with their cultural being and way of life, thus preserving the native tradition that goes back thousands of years.

 

The Squamish Nation of BC is also part of the Four Host First Nations, a very important partner of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
