This dance performance culminates the procession of children and adults dressed in colorful, traditional Indian attire gently pulling a cart to the accompaniment of Indian Classical music on wind instruments.
Over the years, the folk dance has complemented or augmented the general theme for the festival and showcases diverse cultural segments from various parts of India.
The folk dance is usually performed by at least 6 dancers who showcase a particular theme to lilting music with a fast-paced rhythm that aligns with the festive ambiance.
About 200 to 250 people take great pleasure in watching this outdoor performance on the premises of the Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago. The performance is for 5 to 10 minutes.
Folk Dance performers are required to be present at the temple by 8:30 AM with a properly functioning audio system and media that can be used to play the accompanying music. CTU can make arrangements for an audio system with advance notice. The Folk Dance performance will be outdoors on a carpeted area.
