The troupe consists of 3 members, who present a fusion of artistic and folk performances on the rhythms of Indian popular music, accompanied by the playing of the sitar, tabla, and other traditional Indian instruments, amidst an atmosphere of vibrant colors in their designs, sweet music, and distinctive performances. Cultural diversity and the participation of the Indian troupe in 'Sheikh Zayed Festival' cultural events were highlighted by Daljeet Singh, one of the troupe's members, saying that the festival celebrates global folklore and popular heritage, and brings together artists from around the world to the UAE, and we are proud to be one of the participating troupes in the daily performances on the festival's stages, or in special events held between them, celebrating music, arts, and folk performances from diverse cultures and civilizations, especially as 'Sheikh Zayed Festival' is considered one of the most important festivals that brings together the heritage of nations and their way of life, especially their folk arts from all its spectrums. Deep roots and Singh explained that the troupe is participating for the first time to perform some of the most iconic Indian performances, accompanied by traditional music, between classical, popular, and pop Indian music, with great interaction and enthusiasm from the festival visitors, as well as a horse show, with Punjabi dances and traditional Indian music, accompanied by the tabla, in addition to another performance that presents a diverse range of Indian performances between the festival's stages, expressing the culture and traditions of its regions and their deep artistic roots so that others can learn about the rich culture and arts of India. Cultural diversity and the rich cultural heritage of India have contributed to the emergence of different forms of popular music, and the emergence of many folk music troupes that have participated in numerous international and Arab festivals, and have been highlighted through their traditional folk performances, which are characterized by the use of a number of traditional Indian instruments, including the sitar, sarod, and tabla. The Indian folk performances presented by the folk arts troupes are characterized by the use of a number of traditional Indian instruments, which contribute to adding more sparkle to the artistic performances, and the most prominent of these instruments are the sitar, sarod, esraj, violin, tanpura, bansuri, shehnai, sarangi, kaman, santoor, and tabla. Each region in India has its own unique popular music, which reflects the way of life there, from the Punjabi in Punjab, to the Gujarati in Gujarat, to the Bhojpuri in the state of Karnataka, and the traditional folk music in India is closely linked to agriculture and other occupations, to break the routine of daily life.
