Exploring with: @urao11 #lategrams from our trip to Odisha. At Sorishapadar village near Jeypore/Gupteshwar on the Odisha/ Chattisgarh border. With @pranav8665 Sorishapadar is a small village located within the Dandakaranya forests and is inhabited by the Dhuruba tribe - a forest dwelling people who find a mention even in the Ramayana. The boatman who rowed Rama across the river saberi was a dhuruba. We visited a local school to see the traditional dance of the community. The school teacher, Shri Kulomani Jena, has been working in the school for decades and also encourages his students to keep alive the old music and dance customs. Thanks to his encouragement, his students have been participating in folk dance festivals etc across the country. The students put up a fabulous dance for us and a lovely meal too! #sorishapadar #dhuruba #dhruvatribe #indiantribaldance #odisha #exploreodisha #odishatourism #koraputdiaries #koraput #jeypore #gupteshwar #gupteshwarcave #dhurvatribe #dhruba #joblesstraveller #happyinindia #outlooktravellerindia #natgeoyourshot #chattisgarhtourism #chattisgarhdiaries - #cfor36garh https://www.instagram.com/p/B-1MzGqB1Lh/?igshid=1bwqlh4p941b3
