Panthi - The tribal dance of Chattisgarh during Shilpgram Utsav (Festival) 2009 in Udaipur.

Panthi dance, the folk dance of Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, is usually performed by the Satnami community. This dance has religious overtones and conveys the Nirvana philosophy. These dancers from Chattisgarh fill the air with their vibrant steps.

The dance is devotional in spirit. It is performed by the Satnami community on the occasion of Maghi Purnima, the birth anniversary of their saint Guru Ghasidas.

The songs of the dance are also eulogies for their spiritual head. Panthi dance reflects the rich cultural heritage and traditional legacies of the indigenous tribal groups of the region. An integral part of culture, the traditional folk dance of the tribal groups of the Durg district, Panthi dance has captured the imagination of the world with its unique steps and rhythm.
