Ruf
is a very interesting and emotional type of
folk dance. It is directly related with spring. Every season lasts for
three months. At the outset of spring, Kashmiri entertain themselves by dancing
and singing. This practice was prevalent even in the ancient time, which is
mentioned in Nilmatapurana. Ruf has been derived from the word dwarf, which
means a black bee. As the black bee sucks the juice of the flower, sits on it,
moves forward and goes backward, the same moment has been depicted in Ruf dance.
