पश्चिम बंगाल
Midnapore was divided into Paschim Medinipur and Purba Medinipur on January 1, 2002. Both Paschim and Purba Medinipur have a rich blend of cultural diversities because of its tribal and non-tribal communities. Different festivals like Baha, Sohorai, Bhadu and Tusu are celebrated with great vigor in this region. Glove puppetry or Beni Putul Naach is still a tradition in the village of Padmatamil in Paschim Medinipur. Patachitra scroll paintings, cane and bamboo basketry, terracotta pottery, Masland mat weaving and dokra art are some of the well-known art forms from this region.
