Dhunuchi Dance is a lively and devotional dance performed during Durga Puja, showcasing a blend of tradition and festivity.
The dance is an essential part of Durga Puja, performed during the aarti with burning incense.
Dhunuchi, a pot filled with incense, is swung in rhythm, spreading fragrant smoke.
Dancers move to the beats of dhak, gracefully swaying with the dhunuchi.
The dance becomes more energetic as the rhythm speeds up, with participants showing their agility.
It reflects the community's devotion to Goddess Durga, with offerings made through the dance.
