Bhangra is one of the most popular and colourful folk dances of Punjab.It is a form of dance performed by men during Baisakhi to celebrate the period of harvest. The dance form has a lot of feet movements on the beats of drums known as ‘dhol’. It has an extremely lively tone and the vivacious dance accompanying it matches it well.
The dresses worn by the male and female dancers during Bhangra are quite different from each other although both are a reflection of the joyful celebration. The men dress up in ‘lungis’ and vibrant turbans. Women wear long flowing clothes along with fine jewellery that look graceful and elegant. The ‘chunni’ is a colourful scarf that is draped artfully around a woman’s head and pinned to her kurta and vest. What is interesting about the clothes is that every colour worn is symbolic. Yellow is used to symbolize mustard or ‘sarson’, green for prosperity and red/saffron for the auspicious occasion itself. The largest Bhangra dance performed so far had over 21,000 participants in Ludhiana, India. It has spread to a lot of countries and has crept its way to America’s Got Talent, the London Olympics, and also the White House!
