The story of Kambri Dance
Kambri dance is performed by Warlis to invoke the monsoon. It is believed that the long time back a fatal twelve-year famine hit the planet earth. There was no water to drink and no food to eat. Only few of the rich people had some grain stored with them. The villagers requested them to organize the kambri dance festival to please the Gods and Goddesses. The mean rich people parted with stale porridge as an offering. The villagers accepted it happily and without a single complaint, they conducted the festival. The Gods were pleased with unbreakable efforts of the villagers and blessed them with rain. Ever since then, the Warlis perform the Kambri dance to invoke the monsoons.
