Kaintey Wala Nachda tey KATO wala nachda

[Meistro]

I was just wondering today. Does anybody know the history behind out belond prop, the kato? Where did it come from? Why do we use it? Why a SQUIRREL?! I don't think ive ever seen a live kato in india! If anybody knows why we use the kato in bhangra, and could explain, I would really appreciate it!

like most bhangra props, the kato also has an agricultural significance. from what i have heard, its something similar to like a scarecrow for snakes or something. Other than that, they are mad fun to play with!

What I've also heard is that a Kato, was a toylike object for kids.....
