It is a kind of ritual performed by the villagers. It is the only folk dance of Jammu and Kashmir that is performed in the honour of Kul Devi- Devtas (local Deities) as a thanksgiving ceremony for the people’s wellbeing. So instead of entertainment, it has some religious values too. People of the villages believe that by performing Kudd dance they please their Devi-Devtas. So, it is preformed as gratitude towards the Kul Devtas for protecting and taking care of their crops, cattle, and children from all sorts’ of natural calamities. The beauty of the dance is that, people of all ages, men, and women can participate in the dance. People of all ages take part in it with the same enthusiasm.
