Tripuri Garia Festival Bamboo Twirl

Players form a loose circle, each holding a decorated bamboo stick upright.

On a drumbeat, everyone twirls their stick once and passes it to the neighbor on their right.

The beat gradually speeds up, requiring faster twirls and quicker hand-offs.

Anyone who drops a stick or twirls out of rhythm steps back but keeps clapping along.

The last players still smoothly twirling and passing when the drum stops are the round's winners.
