Rajasthan Music

Colorful Rajasthan

Rajasthan is culturally rich and has extensive tradition in art and culture, which reflects the Indian way of life. The dance, music and art forms have been consciously cultivated and patronized by the erstwhile royal courts. An equally rich and varied folk culture from villages is both fascinating and mesmerizing. The music is of uncomplicated innocence and songs depict day-to-day relationships and chores, more often about the bringing of water. Rajasthan's cultural tapestry takes in simple folk to highly cultivated classical music and dance, in its own distinct style.

Colorful Rajasthani Dance

The Thar Desert of Rajasthan comes alive when its dancers take the centre stage. Rajasthan has a great variety of dances, which are simple expressions of celebration and festivity. The dancers, the dances and costumes have made Thar the most colourful desert in the world; with each region adding its own form of dance styles and performers. There are dances that follow age-old traditions, adhere to religious significance, and display their daring as well as complimenting various fairs and festivals.

With numerous pots on the head, women excel in the balancing act in the Matka-bhawai. Terah taali is a ritual for Baba Ramdev, a dance with thirteen manjiras.
