Hurka Baul (Uttar Pradesh)

This is a seasonal Dance.

How many of you have seen this... During these month of festival's the mood is always made for dance isn't it..

The Hurka Baul is performed during paddy and maize cultivation. On a fixed day, after the preliminary ritual, the dance is performed in different fields by turns. The name of the dance is derived from hurka, the drum which constitutes the only musical accompaniment, and baul, the song.

Beautiful Dance....

Say whatever but dances of Uttar Pradesh include everything from simple performances to the ceremonious ones of religious importance, called Doms and Bhotiyas.

The Dance you are talking about Prema, has a very different significance. They do this to remind themselves of their forefathers and heroes and strengthen themselves by talking about their valiant men.. The song is a bit monotonous.. But they are very well performers...

Do you know about the Dhuran?
