The Virasat Punjab di Culture Society is a dance group based in India.
Rhythm of Tradition: A Bhangra Legacy
Nestled in a vibrant village of Punjab, the “Jasbir Folk Troupe” began its journey 20 years ago with a mission to preserve and share the spirit of traditional Bhangra. Founded in 2004 by a group of passionate dancers and musicians, the troupe sought to celebrate Punjab’s rich cultural heritage while inspiring a global audience.
What started as small performances at local fairs soon blossomed into international acclaim. With their energetic moves, colorful attire, and electrifying dhol beats, the group captured hearts far beyond India’s borders. From enthralling audiences at the World Folk Dance Festival in Canada to performing at prestigious venues in London, Dubai, and New York, the troupe became cultural ambassadors of Punjab.
Through hard work and authenticity, they kept the essence of Bhangra alive while blending modern elements to appeal to diverse audiences. Their performances often highlight themes of unity, joy, and the indomitable spirit of Punjab.
Now celebrating two decades of success, the Jasbir Folk Troupe remains a beacon of cultural pride. They continue to inspire younger generations to connect with their roots, proving that tradition, when shared passionately, becomes timeless.
The Virasat Punjab di Culture Society’s journey is a testament to how a small dream can dance its way into the hearts of millions worldwide.
