Amazing dance of lawyers on ‘Luta Re Raja’ in Kanpur Court: Belly dancers danced in the Holi meet of the Bar Association, controversy broke out after the video went viral.

Kanpur. Kanpur of Uttar Pradesh is known for its vivacity and unique style, but this time the Holi Milan ceremony of Kanpur Bar Association has come under discussion as well as controversies. A video of this program organized on 27 February 2026 is spreading like wildfire on social media, in which the lawyer sahaban in black coat is seen in complete mood of fun. In this celebration held near the court premises, the dance of foreign belly dancers and the noise of film songs have sparked a new debate on the dignity of the judiciary.

When lawyers got crazy about Holi, belly dancers danced on the stage

In the viral video, it can be seen that Abir-Gulal is being showered in the lawn of Kanpur Bar Association. Meanwhile, foreign belly dancers started their performance in the gathering organized on the stage. As soon as the folk song ‘Luta Re Raja…’ was played on the loud speaker, the enthusiasm of the lawyers present there reached sky high. The lawyers were not only seen clapping, but also danced vigorously in front of the stage. The atmosphere did not seem like that of a serious professional association, but like a high-profile wedding ceremony.

Ruckus on social media: ‘Literality or entertainment?’

As soon as the video went viral, the internet world has been divided into two groups. Critics say that the profession of lawyers is very dignified and such ‘lewd’ demonstrations inside the court premises are not appropriate. One user sarcastically wrote, “What kind of drama is this in the temple of justice? Is the dignity of the Bar Association now limited to belly dance?” At the same time, some users have also raised questions on the silence of Bajrang Dal and other organizations.

There are no less admirers of Kanpuriya style.

Controversy aside, but there is no dearth of people who like this cool style of Kanpur. Many users have supported the lawyers by calling it a ‘stress buster’. One user made a funny comment and wrote, “Brother, we are from Kanpur, this is how Holi is celebrated here!” Supporters argue that lawyers are also human beings and they too have every right to celebrate after a long day of court proceedings and the stress of legal maneuvers.

Dignity vs Celebration: Has Lakshman Rekha been crossed?

This is not the first time that questions have been raised on the program of a bar association, but belly dance and songs like ‘Luta Re Raja’ have deepened the controversy this time. Legal experts believe that it is not wrong to celebrate, but it is essential to keep in mind the decorum of the place and profession. Keeping in mind the decency of the black coat and the sanctity of the court premises, there is now a demand to reconsider the limits of such events.
