Brita Dance (West Bengal)

Brita dance is one of the most popular folk dances of Bengal.

 Usually the barren women of the region perform the Brita dance to invoke the blessings of the Gods so that their wishes are fulfilled.

Traditionally this dance is performed after a person recovers from a contagious disease like small pox.

Kali Naach is yet another popular folk dance of the region.

The Kali dance is performed to invoke the blessings of Goddess Kali.

While performing the Kali Naach, the performers wear a mask, purified by mantras and dances to the accompaniment of a sword.
