Ghoomar Dance



A community dance of the Rajputs, performed by the women of the house and traditionally out of bounds for the men, it uses simply, swaying movements to convey the spirit of any auspicious occasion. There is an amazing grace as the skirts flair slowly while the women twirl in circles. All women, young or old, participate in Ghoomar dance. As one of the traditional rituals, a bride is expected to dance Ghoomar on being welcomed to her husband's home.
