Gombhira,Gambhira orGamvira (Bengali:গম্ভীরা) is a type ofBengali folk song and dance originating in theBengal region, from what is known today as northwesternBangladesh and north easternWest Bengal,India.[1][2][3][4][5]
InWest Bengal (India), gombhira performances are centred around theMalda District whereasChapai Nawabganj District is the main centre of Gambhira performances in Bangladesh. The tradition is also popular in the nearby districts ofRajshahi andNaogaon.[3] It is performed with a particularly distinctive rhythm and dance with two performers, always personifying a man and his maternal grandfather, discussing a topic to raise social awareness.
The Gambhira dance is performed all over theMalda district of North Bengal during the festival of Chaitra Sankranti. The masks are made out of neem and fig trees by the localSutradhar community. Sometimes they were also made the mask of clay.[6]
