Think Punjab and you see images of gusto and fervour in many shades. Not the least in the form of a dancing Punjabi.
And what can match the irrepressible Bhangra as an expression of joy, celebration and vigour. Across the fertile fields of Punjab and its many towns like Amritsar, Ludhiana, Jalandhar and others, the Punjabi has a beat in every movement. The life of the five rivers, which make up the name of the state, is what flows through the veins of the locals here.
Bhangra has been popularised by countless film songs of Bollywood, and is an essential feature of most wedding celebrations all over North India. Little wonder that the beat of Punjab is spreading its message all over.
