Spao Dance : A Ladakhi dance | Tribal Dance of Leh, Ladakh

Spao means warrior in Ladakhi language. Spao-tses or Warrior Dance is associated with the legendary Ling Gyalam Kesar of the famed folklore prevalent in Ladakh. Often considered as 'the Mahabarta epic of the Central Asia', the legends of the King Kesar and his divine horse can be found in many countries and cultures. Orally transmitted for generations, its versions could be traced from Mongolia, Tibet to Ladakh. And, interestingly, every region and area of the vastness it influenced has a different version. Even in Ladakh, we could find a variety of Galam Kesar lore. In the olden days, prior to the onset of television and radio, it was performed in the winters when people were inbound and found ample time for such leisure. The epic, traditionally performed orally, took to dance routines and even in the written form. Depicting episodes of the epic, which stretches in more than seven volumes, the dancers glorify the righteous and valorous warrior with implements such as swords, quiver and bow-arrows. *I use affiliate links on the products that I recommend.
