Summary
- Kazakh dance group 'Tumar' to perform at Bihar Museum on October 4
- Part of 9th India International Folk Festival organized by ICCR
- 'Tumar' aims to preserve and promote Kazakh dance heritage

In just a few days, on October 4, 2025, a celebrated 12-member all-girls dance group 'Tumar' from Kazakhstan will be visiting Bihar to perform at the Bihar Museum. This is part of the 9th India International Folk Festival organized by the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) under the Ministry of External Affairs.
'Tumar' in the Kazakh language refers to a triangular protective amulet or talisman worn traditionally to ward off evil. The dance ensemble was established in September 2018 with the aim of preserving, developing, and promoting the Kazakh dance heritage. Over the years, the group has developed its own distinct style, harmoniously blending elements of folk dance, modern choreography, and profound imagery.
Each Tumar performance is more than just a dance number - it is a complete stage production filled with meaning, emotion, and visual beauty. The group's visit to Bihar will serve to promote cultural exchange and strengthen the bilateral ties between India and Kazakhstan through people-to-people connections.
