Bhangra is a folk dance of Punjab and an integral part of Punjabi culture. It is a vibrant dance with dhol (drums), boliyan (lyrical couplets), and it is typically performed during the harvest season and festive occasions. On Baisakhi, the harvest festival, entire villages fire up in the spirit of Bhangra. Bhangra is often used to describe many different and distinct folk dances - bhangra, giddha, jhummer, etc. Bhangra is typically performed by men and is centered on the dhol. It often includes props (sticks, chimtas, etc.) and acrobatics.
