Dumhal is a famous folk dance performed by the Wattal tribe of the Kashmir Valley. The dancers wear distinct, long, and colorful robes along with tall conical caps that are often studded with beads and shells. This dance is performed on specific occasions at set locations to honor Sufi saints. A key ritual involves digging a banner into the ground, around which the men dance in a rhythmic fashion, accompanied by the deep beat of drums.
