The origins of Bardwi-sikhla can be traced back to Sattriya folk dance that was created by Guru Sankaradev. He took bits from other folk music to create the classical dance. Ever since humans developed agriculture, they invented folk music and dance. They first started using drums and then slowly inculcated other instruments over time to create the modern Bodo music.
