Bhotia

People from the Bhotia Community are found in the region called the ‘Bhot-Pradesh’ that lies inside Uttarakhand just alongside the borders of Tibet and Nepal. The districts comprises of Uttarkashi, Pithoragarh and Chamoli. ‘Bhotia’ gets its name being residents of the ‘Bhot-Pradesh’.

They speak the language derived from the Tibet-Burman dialects. ‘Niti’ and ‘Mana’ regions sharing borders with Tibet have the majority population of this tribe.

The traditional ‘Pauna’ dance is the most popular dance form of this tribe. This dance is very sacred to the community and is performed in almost all of their weddings. In particular, men and women of all groups perform together in a circle inviting more members to join participate. This dance can extend for prolonged hours and is especially seen during the night of any of their wedding.  Women from the Bhotia tribal group wear heavy traditional jewellery.
