Chhau dance (Odia: ଛଉ ନାଚ chau nāca, Bengali: ছৌ নাচ chau nāc, Hindi: छऊ नृत्य chau nr̥tya)also spelled as Chau or Chhaau, is a semi classical Indian dance with martial, tribal and folk traditions,with origins in the East Indian region, and panned out to its variants in the states of West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha. It is found in three styles named after the location where they are performed, i.e. the Purulia Chau (Bengali: পুরুলিয়া ছৌ) of West Bengal, the Seraikella Chau (Hindi: सेरैकेल्ला छऊ) of Jharkhand and the Mayurbhanj Chau (Odia: ମୟୂରଭଞ୍ଜ ଛଉ) of Odisha.
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.[3] The dance is amazing and brings together people from diverse socio-economic backgrounds in a festive and religious spirit.
