The vibrant ethnic communities of Darjeeling and Kalimpong bring forth a rich tapestry of traditions, folk dances, melodies, and celebrations. Their performances honor nature's elements, paying homage to the sky, earth, mountains, rivers, and forests. These artistic expressions celebrate ancestral legacies, mark new harvests, and rejoice in celestial phenomena like the full moon and rainfall. Rooted in Buddhism and Shamanism, the hills' folk songs and dances beautifully mirror the cultural unity among Himalayan communities, transcending geographical boundaries.
