Terahtaali



A devotional form of dance practiced be the Kamad community, to honor their folk hero Baba Ramdev, it consists of women sitting on the floor before his image. Tied to various parts of their body are thirteen cymbals, which they strike with the ones they hold in their hand. Their hands perform various arabesques while they do this and for effect, they may also balance pots on their hands and hold a sword in their mouth.
