The Nacni or ‘Nachni’ dance is popular in the East and the Central Indian states of Jharkhand, West Bengal and Orissa. The word ‘Nacni’ literally translates to a ‘Dancer’ or a ‘Dancing Girl’ according to the local language. It is a dance of the rural community of the states.
Nachni is usually performed on festivals celebrations such as Maghi Purnima, Chaitra Purnima, Raas Utsab, Jhoolan Utsab, Holi, weddings and religious functions.
