Goa, along with its beautiful beaches, also has some beautiful folk dances. Tarangmel dance is part of those mesmerizing folk dances. It is a dance of the youth if we want to link it to a generation. The dance is energizing requires a lot of energy and is energizing to even look at.
Tarangmel Dance Performance
Tarang mel is performed during Holi and Dussehra – the two most important festivals of india. It means we can safely connect it with the Shigmo festival which is also celebrated during Holi. The most important part of this dance is its costumes. Young males and females wear so many colors that instead of seeing people you only see colors.
Dance parades are done while performing this dance and dancers invite other people to join in with them to mix with the energy of the festivities. The name tarangmel itself has been driven from the prop used in the dance performance. Dancers wave flags and streamers (colorful Tarang).
If you decided to visit Goa during Holi or Dusshera make sure you witness this dance performance with your own eyes. You will be enchanted with the view and the energy that you receive during this performance.
