Abhivridhishala Jhumur Juniors

Jhumur is a traditional dance of the tribal communities of Chhotanagpur plateau covering several districts of West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha. Its origin dates back to the pre-Vaishnav Padabali period (15th century onwards). Jhumur songs and dances are an integral part of local community parabs (festivals), rituals (like Badna, Tusu, Karam Puja) and occasions like weddings and harvests.
This folk dance was explored as part of the summer Abhivridhishala at Chitra Visweswaran's Chidambaram Academy of Performing Arts and was taught by Anusuya Banerjee founder Nrittakshetra Academy of Performing Arts and performed by the participants of the Junior Batch of the Abhivridhishala.
