In hills of Billawar and Bani, life moves with rhythm of traditions. Among the rich heritage of the region is the Anchali(Ainchali). A religious ballad rooted in the cultural identity of the Pahadi communities of upper Kathua and Chamba region of HP.

Anchali is traditionally performed during festivals, weddings and local fairs. It is not a formally structured dance but a collective expression of happiness, where villagers come together in rhythm, song and movement.
