Welcome to the Bengali Folk Culture & Performing Arts Wiki, a vibrant space dedicated to preserving and sharing the diverse musical, theatrical, and artistic traditions of Bengal.
In this section, we explore folk music genres such as Baul, Bhawaiya, and Gombhira, traditional performance arts like Jatra, Kirtan, and Kavigaan, as well as folk instruments and the rich tapestry of village traditions and rural cultural practices.
Designed for students, researchers, and global Bengali audiences, this Wiki presents these traditions in an accessible and engaging way, highlighting their historical context, social significance, and enduring relevance.
Our aim: to celebrate Bengal’s folk heritage, preserve its living arts, and connect communities with the rhythms, stories, and creativity that define rural and folk culture.
