===========================
La boleadora, boleadoras (hasta finales del siglo XIX simplemente bolas) o laque son un arma/instrumento de caza arrojadiza creada por los indígenas de la Patagonia, y las Pampas; luego fue adoptada y modificada por los gauchos.
====
Descripción
Consta de dos o tres bolas, piedras muy duras pulidas en forma casi esférica o muy raramente erizadas. El diámetro de cada una de las bolas suele ser de unos 10 cm en las boleadoras de combate o de caza mayor. Tales piedras se encuentran unidas por tientos o guascas, tiras de cuero. Los aborígenes usaban como materia prima para los tientos el cuero de guanaco y el cuero del cogote (cuello) y el tendón de la pata del ñandú. Con el paso del tiempo y la introducción de la ganadería, los tientos fueron reemplazados por reatas de tres cabos de cuero trenzado, generalmente de vacuno.
======
Arte
Las boleadoras han pasado a ser un elemento coreográfico para bailes folclóricos gauchescos, especialmente para el malambo de Argentina. En tales casos se agitan con gran destreza, haciendo diversas figuras, en torno a los cuerpos de los bailarines, y en ocasiones se llegan a usar como instrumentos de percusión.

Chhau Dancers at Murguma Lake

Chhau Dance
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.
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/Jhalda (Jharkhand) stations.
