Описание к видео Manbhum Chhau dance of Jharkhand

A group of artist performs Manbhum Chhau dance in a village in Jharkhand. Some group members play Dhol and Shehnai. A person wearing Hindu God's costume and mask performs Manbhum Chhau dance.

The Chhau Dance follows the basic principles of Hindu Dance. Chhau Dance is prevalent not only in Seraikela but also in the same form or the other in many parts of Orissa and West Bengal.

In the opinion of Late Bijay Pratap Singh Deo of Seraikela who was an architect of Chhau dance of Seraikella school, Chhau is a masked dance, the motif of which has been drawn from the mythological picturesque.

In the opinion of some people "Chhau" is a dialect which meams six faces, Viz. fore head, eyes, nose, cheeks, lips and chin and a mask bears the six parts of the face. The word "Chhau" ordinarily means mask and because the dance is performed by use of mask, it is called "Chhau Dance".
