The Bhawaiya Festival celebrates Bhawaiya song, one of the traditional folk art forms of North Bengal. Derived from the word ‘Bhawa’ meaning ‘low-lying land used to grow vegetables’, these songs reflect the experiences of rural life. The themes of Bhawaiya compositions are premised on the lived realities of common people of North Bengal. The festival is part of the initiative Rural Craft and Cultural Hubs of West Bengal, undertaken by the Department of MSME&T (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises and Textiles), Govt. of West Bengal and UNESCO to strengthen ICH (Intangible Cultural Heritage) based craft and performing arts of the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2023 edition of the festival<\/a> welcomed artists from Cooch Behar, Alipurduar and Jalpaiguri and showcased performances, multiple discussions on Bhawaiya music and an exhibition on both the days. It was held between 01 and 02 April 2023 at Rabindra Bhawan, Jalpaiguri in West Bengal.
