Masked dancers of the Gomira dance troupe
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Masked dancers of the Gomira dance troupe perform at a big mustard field in a village near Raiganj. Gomira is a masked dance form. The word 'Gomira' is derived from the colloquial form of the word 'Gram-Chandi' or the female deity who is the protective force of the village. The exact origin of the dance form is not traceable and the knowledge has been lost over time. Gomira dance is a rural dance form mainly practiced in the Dinajpur district of West Bengal. The Gomira dances are organized to appease the deity to usher in the 'good forces' and drive out the 'evil forces'. It is usually organised during mid-February to mid-July. There are no fixed dates but each village has its own Gomira dance troupe and organizes at least one dance performance during this period. The use of wooden masks is characteristic of the dance festivals of the Gomira. |
