Several names give the State away: Odissi and Odisha, Manipuri and Manipur. Kuchipudi is named after Kuchipudi village in Andhra Pradesh, and Sattriya comes from the sattras (monasteries) of Assam.

Folk dances come in pairs per State, and setters like to swap them: Bhangra and Giddha are both from Punjab, Ghoomar and Kalbelia from Rajasthan. Garba is Gujarat, Lavani Maharashtra, Bihu Assam.

From the North-East, Cheraw is Mizoram’s bamboo dance and Hojagiri comes from Tripura.
