Uttarakhand. 20 students of both states collectively presented a

beautiful folk dance “Kumaon” of Uttarakhand in which 10

girls presented dance,6 girls participated in singing and 4 boys

gave their contribution through playing instruments.

The folk lore of Uttarakhand, indeed the lives of the people are

filled with dancing- it is the main part of their tradition and

heritage for them as wearing clothes, a must for life. Locals here

believe that dance is not only for human to entertain but for

them the art of please gods not to fail man.

The culture of UT had its roots in past among the diverse

cultures and traditions of India. It is one of the unique cultures

which can be seen prominently in its various forms of art. UT

folk dance’Kumaon” is not as compare as the classical dance

forms but is something which is beautiful to witness. It is a

reflection of the deep sited beliefs and traditions of the local

people which is performed to express joy & celebrate the arrival

of new season.

During this cultural program students & staff members have

ample opportunities to learn about our country’s heritage,

history, festivals, traditions, dances & dresses etc.

This performance was applauded by everybody present and will

always remain etched in the memory of one and all.
