Muria Dances

Muria Dances

The Muria tribals of North Bastar area are trained in all types of their community dances.

 At the start of dance sequences they begin with an invocation to the phallic deity of their tribe and the founder of the Ghotul institution.

 The site chosen for the dance is near the Ghotul compound. During marriages, the Muria boys and girls perform Har Endanna dance.

 Their Hulki dance is the most beautiful of all the dances while the Karsana dance is performed for fun and enjoyment.

 In the Hulki dance, boys move in a circular fashion while the girls make their way through them.
