GUMRAG DANCE BY SONITPUR TEAM at #mishing #youth #festival 2026

The Gumrag dance is a traditional group folk dance of the Mishing tribe of Assam, performed during the spring festival of Ali-Aye-Ligang to honor nature, celebrate the new agricultural cycle, and invoke fertility. Dancers move in circles, often in village courtyards, accompanied by drums, cymbals, and traditional songs (Oi Nitom).
