Description

According to Wikipedia - 'Ghoomar is a traditional folk dance of Rajasthan. It was the Bhilai tribe who performed it to worship Goddess Sarasvati which was later embraced by other Rajasthani communities. The dance is chiefly performed by veiled women who wear flowing dresses called Ghaghara. It was ranked 4th in the list of "Top 10 local dances around the world" in 2013. The dance typically involves performers pirouetting while moving in and out of a wide circle. The word ghoomna describes the twirling movement of the dancers and is the basis of the word ghoomar.'

Its significance: from being a symbol of womanhood to the essence of Rajasthan culture.
