Q. In which districts Baul dance is famous in West Bengal?
Answer: Bardhaman and Birbhum
Notes: Baul Dance forms part of the religious rites of Bauls. Baul songs are spiritual in theme, and while singing these songs, Bauls start dancing. They hold an ektara in their right hand. Some wear ghunghru (a string of bells) round their ankles. The ektara plays a prominent part in the dance, sometimes being held close to the ears, sometimes high up. This dance is mainly popular in Bardhaman and Birbhum districts of West Bengal.
