This traditional Chau dance is performed by artists from the Biren Kalindi Chau Dance group from Purulia, West Bengal.

During Goa's very own artist Divesh Gadekar's solo art exhibition at Sadhana Dell arte, Merces on 17th December 2021.

The dance ranges from celebrating martial arts, acrobatics and athletics performed in festive themes of a folk dance, to a structured dance with religious themes found in Shaivism, Shaktism and Vaishnavism. The costumes vary between the styles, with Purulia and Serakeilla using masks to identify the character.
The stories enacted by Chhau dancers include those from the Hindu epics the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, the Puranas and other Indian literature.

The dance is traditionally an all males troupe, regionally celebrated particularly during spring every year, and may be a syncretic dance form that emerged from a fusion of classical Hindu dances and the traditions of ancient regional tribes. 

The dance is amazing and brings together people from diverse socio-economic backgrounds in a festive and religious spirit.
