Location

Charida is located at 23°12′17″N 86°01′53″E / 23.2046°N 86.0314°E / 23.2046; 86.0314.

Charida is about 5 km from Baghmundi village, at the scenic foothills of the Ajodhya Hills.[1][2]

Demographics

According to the 2011 Census of India, Chorda had a total population of 2,568, of which 1,353 (53%) were males and 1,215 (47%) were females. There were 385 persons in the age range of 0-6 years. The total number of literate persons in Chorda was 1,416 (64.86% of the population over 6 years).[3]

Culture

Charida is famous for the Chhau masks used in the Purulia Chhau dance.[1]Around 150 families are involved in mask-making. It involves five elaborate processes and depending on the intricacies involved it takes two to seven days to complete a mask. “The Chhau craft itself dates back 150 years, to the reign of King Madan Mohan Singh Deo of Baghmundi”. A chau mask festival is organised at Charida in January-February. Some of the craftsmen have travelled to far off places such as Japan and France “to showcase their work and popularise Chhau.”[2]

“The Kirat-Kiratin avtar of Shiva and Durga is the inspiration” behind the Chhau mask. Apart from their traditional use in the Purulia chhau dance, the masks have become a drawing room show piece. Traditionally, only people of lower castes were involved in mask making but the growing demand of the item is drawing in people from all castes into this profession.[2]

Gambhir Singh Mura, an outstanding Chhau dancer and a Padma Shri awardee, belonged to the nearby village of Pitikiri Bamni. Now, his statue adorns Charida. [2]
