Sukhaliya belongs to the Kol family. She performs the authentic dance form of Kol’s. In the past, the Kol lived in jungles and didn’t have winter clothes to keep them warm. That’s why they used to dance around the bonfire on cold nights. Then this dance changes to the traditional dance form of Kols. Sukaliya is about 60 years old and has been performing this dance form for the last 40 years. She has performed at many Government cultural programs.
