Chhau dance is a genre of Indian tribal martial dance which is popular in the Indian states of Orissa, Jharkhand and West Bengal.
There are three sub genres of the dance, based on its places of origin and development, Seraikella Chhau, Mayurbhanj Chhau and Purulia Chhau.
Purulia Chau was developed in Purulia district of West Bengal and
Mayurbhanj Chhau was developed in Mayurbhanj district of Orissa.
The most prominent difference among the three sub genres is in the use of mask. While, the Seraikela and Purulia sub genres of Chhau use masks, the Mayurbhanj Chhau uses none
