Sanchaar is a folk art form practised in western parts of Odisha and parts of Chhattisgarh adjoining to it. The art form is a rare combination of singing, dancing and music. The performer has to sing, dance and play music simultaneously. A lead performer with mridanda and two other performers with cymbals form a team.
