Lebang Boomani Dance is also known as ‘Lebang Bumani’ and is an interesting harvest dance which is practised by the inhabitants of the north-eastern State of Tripura. This dance is amongst the two dances which are connected to the people of Tripura, the other being the ‘Garia Dance’ performed during sowing the crops. The residents of Tripura eagerly wait for the arrival of the monsoons which fuels enhanced agricultural activity in the hills. Colourful insects termed as ‘lebangs’ approach the hillsides in hordes seeking the sown seeds. The dance movements of Lebang Boomani dance portray the procedure of catching these tiny insects with the aide of clappers made from bamboo.
