The Uttar Dinajpur Festival which takes place annually at Raiganj in the Uttar Dinajpur District of West Bengal highlights the rich cultural heritage of North Bengal through its performing arts and handicrafts. The festival is part of the Rural Craft and Cultural Hubs of West Bengal initiative, which aims to promote and strengthen the state’s ICH-based craft and performing arts with the support of the Department of MSME&T and UNESCO. The festival showcases the traditional wooden masks that are an integral part of the Gomira dance and Khon, a traditional folk drama, both of which are performed in the surrounding villages of Uttar and Dakshin Dinajpur such as Kushmundi and Krishnabati. These masks have received the coveted Geographical Indication (GI) tag in 2018 and are highly sought after by collectors. The festival also features dokra (a native craft of Bengal involving non-ferrous metal casting using the lost-wax casting technique), pottery work and bamboo basketry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival<\/a> was held between 7th to 9th April 2023 at the playground of Sudarsanpur Dwarika Prashad Uchcha Vidyachakra in Raiganj, Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
