Tradition, Transformation, and Contemporary Trends
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 March 2025
Abstract
Purulia, a district in the southwestern part of West Bengal, is popular for the renowned chhou dance. Despite the prevalent notion that chhou is exclusively a war dance, it dynamically incorporates contemporary social and political issues, and has undergone significant changes such as new musical instruments and technologies, lighting, costume transformations, and female performers.
