The Chau dance was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010, and that inscription covers three distinct regional forms: Purulia Chau of West Bengal, Seraikella Chau of Jharkhand, and Mayurbhanj Chau of Odisha. These three traditions share a common cultural root in the tribal and martial performance heritage of the Chota Nagpur plateau region where the three modern states converge. They developed distinct visual identities, distinct performance conventions, and, most significantly for anyone interested in Chau masks specifically, distinct relationships to the mask itself. Purulia Chau uses large, elaborately painted masks that are central to the performance's visual identity. Seraikella Chau uses masks of a different visual character, more refined and more subtly modelled. Mayurbhanj Chau does not use masks at all, relying instead on facial expression and body movement to convey character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":433,\"w\":401,\"h\":98,\"abs_x\":589,\"abs_y\":637}'\u003e\u003cspan bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":433,\"w\":389,\"h\":96,\"abs_x\":589,\"abs_y\":637}'\u003eThis means that when someone searches for a Chau mask, they are most likely looking for a Purulia Chau mask, possibly a Seraikella Chau mask, and definitely not a Mayurbhanj Chau mask, which does not exist as an object.

The word Chau is thought by some scholars to derive from chhauni, meaning military camp, referencing the tradition's origins in the physical training practices of regional soldiers.
