होली से पहले उपवास, पहाड़ से लाए गए पत्थरों के रंग और ढोलक-नगाड़ों की थाप, महाराष्ट्र के भील आदिवासियों का होली नृत्य सिर्फ़ उत्सव नहीं, एक जीवित परंपरा है। नंदूरबार के कलाकार गौतम खर्डे और उनकी मंडली इस लोककला को गाँव से राष्ट्रीय मंच तक पहुँचा रहे हैं।

बिहार की मधुबनी लोककला दुनिया भर में मशहूर हो गई हो लेकिन यह आज भी अपने चित्रकारों को बिचौलियों से बचाने में कामयाब नहीं हो पाई है। अफसोस की बात है कि सरकार से भी इन चित्रकारों को कोई समर्थन नहीं मिल पा रहा है।

Bundeli Rai is the traditional folk dance of Bundelkhand. Rai means mustard seed. The way mustard seed swings around in the saucer, the dancers also dance likewise on the beats of traditional musical instruments of Nagadiya, Dholak, Jheeka, and Ramtoola. This traditional folk dance was fading away when the Jhansi administration stepped in to revive the culture, also support the livelihood of dancers and singers.

Paitkar art, indigenous to Jharkhand, is startlingly vibrant and tells stories of the times, culture, music and traditions of the Paitkar community. The scroll painting is famous for its natural colours that are made and preserved using traditional methods without any chemicals. Dating back to the Gupta dynasty, this art form is in decline.

Chiteri art, the traditional folk art of Bundelkhand, executed on the walls of homes where a wedding is to take place is struggling to survive. The Jhansi administration is trying hard to revive and promote the 16th Century art form.
