Hojagiri Folk Dance- Tripura Folk Dance
Hojagiri is one of the most graceful and visually striking folk dances of India, deeply rooted in the cultural life of the Reang (also known as Bru) community of Tripura. Performed mainly by women, this dance beautifully reflects balance, discipline, and artistic expression, making it a proud symbol of tribal heritage in Northeast India.
Origin and Cultural Background
Hojagiri folk dance originated among the Reang community, one of the prominent tribal groups of Tripura. The dance is traditionally performed during the post-harvest season, especially after the completion of important agricultural activities. It is closely linked with celebrations of prosperity, community harmony, and thanksgiving to nature.
The name “Hojagiri” itself represents joy and devotion, and the performance is considered both a cultural celebration and a spiritual offering.
Performance Style and Movements
What makes Hojagiri truly unique is its emphasis on balance and control. Dancers perform slow, rhythmic movements while standing on earthen pitchers or bottles.
