Mayurbhanj Chhau is originally a tribal dance which originated from the forests of Mayurbhanj, Odisha in the 18th century and later got the status of a martial art form in the 19th century. There are 3 styles of Chhau named after the location where they are performed, i.e., the Purulia Chau of Bengal, the Seraikella Chau of Jharkhand, and the Mayurbhanj Chau of Odisha. While the Purulia and Seraikela subgenres of Chhau use masks during the dance, the Mayurbhanj Chhau uses none.
