Harul

Harul is a special form of song and dance of the Hattee tribe.

Harul is a traditional Indian folk song type performed as a dance in the Jaunsar-Bawar and bordering regions of Himachal Pradesh.

[1][2] These regions, including trans-Giri Sirmaur, were once part of the single tribe of Hattees up until the formation of states of Himacahl Pradesh and Uttarakhand.

In this dance, participants hold on to each other forming a long line and perform the traditional harul steps.

Basic steps consist of criss-crossing the legs while moving accompanied by occasional knee bending, in sync with the rhythm.
