Fairs and Festivals Mizoram
The traditional repertoire of festival, folk and community dances offers visitors a delightful insight into the tribal heritage of Mizo culture in all its richness and variety. Surprisingly, some of the most popular dances, such as the Cheraw (bamboo dance), Khuallam, Solakia and Chheih Lam, were never created for the stage. Rather, they evolved spontaneously out of community spirit and participation.
