Chhau dance

Chhau is a dance-drama form prevalent in Eastern India. There are three major forms of Chhau, each known by its geographic location.

Some Chhau dances use large stylized masks. Although they are all known as Chhau, their styles differ considerably in terms of their cultural background and their dance characteristics.
