Dances of Rajasthan

Encompassing the spirit of the Thar Desert, Rajasthan has been a haven
of various folk art forms. A medieval history of princely states, provided
patronage to these art forms and their artists. Vibrant, vigorous and
graceful, the dances of Rajasthan evoke the desert in all its moods.
It is the most lilting tribute to the spectacular beauty, the undulating
sinuousness and the brutal harshness of the landscape, and to the hardiness
and heroism of the people who live in this Land of the Kings. The dances,
found in limitless variations in Rajasthan, punctuate its barrenness,
turning the land into a fertile basin of color and creativity and are
an expression of human emotion as much as the folk music.
Rajasthan's popular dances include:
Bhavai
Kachhi Ghodi
Chari
Kalbeliya
Gair
Kathputli
Ghoomar
Terahtaali
