Description of Events ^*

The Festival commenced with the captivating Chholiya dance, a traditional folk dance originating from the Kumaon division of Uttarakhand and the Western Province of Nepal. This centuries’ old sword dance, once associated with wedding processions, has evolved into a symbol of Kumaoni and Far-Western culture. Accompanied by martial music, the sword-wielding performers engaged in a synchronized dance, simulating mock combat. The historical roots of Chholiya dance trace back over a thousand years, embedded in the martial traditions of the Kumaoni and Khas people. Traditional musical instruments such as Dhol, Damau, and Nagada are used as accompaniments to the Chholiya dance. The performance began with the arrival of the deities, followed by renditions of traditional compositions like "Bedu Pako Baro Masa," and featured acts such as "Nav Murti Madobaj," "Chhola Yudh," and "Minar." The main artists in this Chholiya dance included Gopal Ram on Dhol, Deepak Ram performing Chholiya, Dinesh Kumar on Casio, Anand Ram as the singer, Diwan Ram on Tuturi, Bachiram on Masakbeen, Bhardu Ram on Bean Baja, Prem Prakash with Ranasingha, Amit Kumar showcasing Taal, Shankar Ram playing Damo, Jayal Arya performing Chholiya, and Inder Ram on Damau
