India history and geography
: Knowledge Traditions & Practices of India: Dance: Classical Dance: FolkGiddh膩 is an exclusively women鈥檚 dance of Punjab, a counterpart of the men鈥檚 Bha峁単r膩. It is an ancient ring dance with simple graceful movements without crisp jerks and abrupt turns and twists so characteristic of Bha峁単r膩. The dance begins with a circle, which is then broken up into two semi circles and sometimes into groups of four or six. Pairs emerge from the circle to perform different variations on a theme. The couplet describes their daily chores ranging from cleaning of the wheat to thrashing and to spinning, weaving and embroidery.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
