husbands and mother-in-laws. The exuberance and vitality of the people of
Punjab are vigorously displayed in this dance form. Later

the path shown by Chaudhary Devilal and become a true INDIAN. Mr. Dushyant

long decades of public service. Dr. Shamim Sharma welcomed the Chief Guest and

detailed planning months in advance. It also requires meticulous execution that
