Hey ladies

Bihar with all of you...
Bihar is otherwise very popular for our very own....
Lalu prasad yadav...and very intelligent
I.A.S students...
But less did we know that this
wonderful state has a
wonderful culture too...
MUSIC...
Bihar has contributed to the Indian (Hindustani)
classical music and has produced musicians like
Bharat Ratna Ustad Bismillah Khan.
Bihar has a very old tradition of beautiful folk songs, sung during important family occasions, such as marriage, birth ceremonies, festivals, etc.
Bihar also has a tradition of lively
Holi songs known as
'Phagua', filled with fun rhythms.
During this time many sad plays and songs called biraha became very popular, in the
Bhojpur.
DANCE... Dance forms of Bihar are another expression of rich traditions and ethnic identity. There are several
folk dance forms that can keep one enthralled, such as dhobi nach, jhumarnach, manjhi, gondnach, jitiyanach, more morni, dom-domin, bhuiababa, rah baba, kathghorwa nach, jat jatin, launda nach, bamar nach, jharni, jhijhia, natua nach, bidapad nach, sohrai nach, and gond nach.
THEATRE AND DRAMA...
Theatre is another form in which the
Bihari culture expresses itself. Some forms of theater with rich traditions are Bidesia,
Reshma-Chuharmal, Bihula-Bisahari, Bahura-Gorin, Raja Salhesh, Sama Chakeva, and Dom Kach. These theater forms originate in the
Anga region of Bihar.
