After Diwali, the Fairies’ Market begins to take shape in Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh. Artists from Chhattisgarh and Odisha gather at this market. From here, the artists travel to different villages to present traditional Raut Nacha performances. This activity, which begins after Diwali, carries a special identity linked to folk culture and traditional art.
During this period, the artists prepare for Raut Nacha with their traditional costumes and adornments. After reaching the villages, they perform the dance in groups. Raut Nacha is an important part of Chhattisgarh’s folk tradition, bringing together folk songs, dance and the melodies of traditional musical instruments.
The gathering of artists in Raipur after Diwali and their subsequent departure for villages is a distinctive feature of this tradition. The participation of artists from Chhattisgarh and Odisha gives this cultural activity a wider form. The performances held in villages play a role in keeping folk traditions alive.
