These two songs from Teesri Kasam (1966), lyrics by Shailendra and music by Shankar Jaikishan embody the essence of folk music and dance from Bihar.

The famous Marionette puppetry sequence incorporating traditional yodeling from Switzerland and Austria I think? The original Maria Von Trapp apparently had a problem with the authenticity of the yodeling in the film but it’s still a very enjoyable song! Performed by Julie Andrews and the children, music & lyrics by Rodgers & Hammerstein.
