Raibenshe Dance (রায়বেঁশে) | Bengal Folk Performing Art | 1st Virtual Museum launching on 20th June
Raibenshe (Bengali: রায়বেঁশে), alternatively, Raibeshe (Bengali: রায়বেশে), is a genre of Bengali folk martial dance performed by male only. This genre of dance was once prevalent in West Bengal. It is performed mostly in Birbhum[ Bardhaman and Murshidabad districts. Traditionally, this dance involves vigorous and manly body movements along with the acrobatics of a raibansh (a long bamboo stick), from which its name originated.[3] During the performance, the performers enact the actions of drawing a bow, throwing a spear, and waving a sword. The performers wear a brass anklet (nupur) on their right ankle. This dance is accompanied by dhols (drums) and Kanshis (cymbals). This dance was traditionally performed by the Bagdi community, who worked as the bodyguards of the landlords in medieval Bengal.
