Seraikela Kharsawan, Jharkhand - a place where dance, craft, forests, food and living traditions come together.
Our journey took us through village communities, Chhau performances and traditional craft workshops, giving us a much closer look at the cultural life of this fascinating region.
From the graceful, masked movements of Seraikela Chhau to the energetic Manbhum Chhau and the maskless Kharsawan Chhau, every performance had its own character and story.
We also spent time with the artisans behind the art - watching Seraikela Chhau masks and headgears being made, discovering Kashi grass craft, and seeing bamboo transformed into everyday objects and beautiful artisanal jewellery.
Staying at Nimdih Gandhi Ashram added another dimension to the journey - a peaceful base surrounded by nature and rooted in Gandhian thought.
And this is just the beginning. If you’re looking for a cultural travel experience in Jharkhand, the coming months are a great time to visit Seraikela Kharsawan and experience these traditions for yourself.

I used Edits app for its very cool transitions (specially ‘apply this transition to all cuts’ feature) and also the royalty free RF music from their library- my most loved feature. I almost use in my all reels.

![We had luxurious staycation at @aamaghatiresort in Ranthambore, just 4 hours from Gurgaon via the new Mumbai Expressway. From spacious rooms with private balconies to cultural evenings, jungle safaris, spa sessions, and alfresco dining-this is the perfect staycation near Ranthambore National Park.
