Chanchari : A Folk Dance-Song Style of Kumaun and Garhwal


(Folk dance-songs of Garhwal, Traditional Folk Dance songs of Kumaun, Customs of Uttarakhand)

Chanchari folk dance-song is very famous traditional dance-song of borders of Kumaun and Garhwal regions of Uttarakhand (Mid Himalayan) state. Dr ShivaNand Nautiyal the prolific expert of Garhwali and Kumauni culture mentions that there is no difference between Jhoda and Chanchari dance in Kumaun region but there is slight difference between Jhoda and Chanchari folk dance in Garhwal.
The dance-song is a group dance wherein males and females dancers take part and dance in circle. The female dancers dance in half circle and males dance in rest of the circle. The Chanchari folk dance is a kind of spontaneous style.
The chancheri dance has been there in India from early age. Kalidas described Chanheri dance in Vikramovarsheeyam (Dr ShivaNand Nautiyal and Dr Shiv Prasad Dabral) as Charchari dance, game. Dr Nauityal provides references of Haribhadr suri’s Samraichchkahaa’ wherein Chanchri is described.
The dancers can dance Chanchari folk dance in any plain place and at any time depending upon the situation. In old time, the songs for Chanchari dance were of all kind as religious, inspirational subjects but now, mostly, the love songs are sung in Chanchari dance. The Hudkiya (small drum player) plays Hudka and sing the song in centre and around him the dancers  dance Chanchari, the dancers also become the chorus singers whenever needed. First the Hudkiya sing the song, the male dancers/singers repeat the song and females complete the song line. The sound of male singer is medium but the sound of female singers is always very melodious and low. As happened in Chhopti  dance-song, the first stanza of chanchari song is meaningless and second stanza should have same ending words (Patt milan).
The difference between Jhoda and chanchari  dances is that the speed in Chanchari dance is slower than Jhoda. There is performance of Kamar /kativinyas- waist, hip in Chanchari along with footstep. The waist is bent towards footstep too in Chanchari dance.
