Folk music is defined as the music of the people. It is characterised by simple beautiful melodies and rhythms that generally are concerned with the themes of nature, love, familial relations and religious and cultural festivities and customs.
The rustic beauty is depicted by the songs. Folk music generally responds to the cycles of life and death, of day and night, and of the seasons. General participation is high in folk music, so the concept of the audience as a separate identity is not emphasised.
Indian folk music marked for its variety because of the rich cultural diversity of the country. Most folk music is mainly dance-oriented and is sung, or the instruments played, during festivals and dance performances by the common people.
