SPIC MACAY, in collaboration with Bhavan, Kochi Kendra, organised a lecture cum demonstration of Purulia Chhau dance at Bhavan's Varuna Vidyalaya, Thrikkakara, Kochi, on December 3, 2018. Chhau, an Indian dance form with martial, tribal and folk origin, has its roots in Odisha, Jharkand and West Bengal. It is known as Purulia Chhau in Bengal, Seraikella Chhau in Jharkhand and Mayurbhanj Chhau in Odisha. The demonstration helped to understand the fine intricacies of the dance form and the culture associated with it.
