| Manipuri Dance |
An
interesting feature of Sylhet region is the aboriginal tribes such as the
Tipperas, the Monipuris, Khasias and Garos who still live in their primitive
ways in the hills, practicing their age-old rites, rituals, customs and
traditions. During festivals such as, Rash Leela (Full-moon night in February)
and Doljatra, the attractive young girls dressed in colorful robes, dance with
the male members of their choice & love. The Monipuris perform their famous
dance, based on allegorical love themes of the ancient mythology.
For
accommodation at Sylhet town, some reasonably good hotels are available.
Rest-house accommodation at Srimangal and other places are also available for
tourists.
