• Themes: The themes often celebrate the natural beauty of the hills, portraying the flora, fauna, and the lives of hill communities. They may reflect harvest festivals, stories of resilience, and the symbiotic relationship between people and nature.
• Style: The dance style incorporates graceful movements, often depicting elements of daily life like farming, hunting, or rituals. Performers use fluid, flowing motions, and sometimes incorporate props like sticks or baskets, showcasing a blend of elegance and rhythmic footwork.

These instruments create melodic tunes and lively rhythms, enriching the performance and reflecting the cultural heritage of the hill regions in West Bengal.
