Beautiful Dancer Portrait Woman Blue Rajasthani Udaipur India 1b.
At a quaint little temple or "Mandir" along the shores of Lake Pichola in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, just after sunset, I had the privilege to witness a twilight cultural performance. In this image, a graceful dancer named Maya strikes a pretty pose. That evening, there were traditional Rajasthani dances, music and a puppet show. The whole arena was beautifully lighted up, with vibrant, colorful diyas or lamps and lanterns. The ambience was wonderful, and the weather was just perfect, with a gentle breeze floating through, and we had a great dreamy time! Followed by a delicious Indian dinner, featuring traditional Rajasthani cuisine, al fresco naturally! A recipe for a lovely evening :0) .
Highly cultivated classical music and dance with its own distinct style is part of the cultural tradition of Rajasthan. The music is uncomplicated and songs depict day-to-day relationships and chores, more often focused around fetching water from wells or ponds.
The Ghoomar dance from Udaipur and Kalbeliya dance of Jaisalmer have gained international recognition. Folk music is a vital part of Rajasthani culture. Kathputali, Bhopa, Chang, Teratali, Ghindar, Kachchhighori, Tejaji,parth dance etc. are the examples of the traditional Rajasthani culture. Folk songs are commonly ballads which relate heroic deeds and love stories; and religious or devotional songs known as bhajans and banis (often accompanied by musical instruments like dholak, sitar, sarangi etc.) are also sung.
Kanhaiya Geet also sung in major areas of east rajasthani belt in the collectiong manner as a best source of entertainment in the rural areas.
Reflecting the colorful Rajasthani culture, Rajasthani clothes have a lot of mirror-work and embroidery. A Rajasthani traditional dress for females comprises an ankle length skirt and a short top, also known as a lehenga or a chaniya choli. A piece of cloth is used to cover the head, both for protection from heat and maintenance of modesty called chunari. While Rajasthani women cover their faces with chunari, this practice is called Ghunghat. Rajasthani dresses are usually designed in bright colours like blue, yellow and orange.Their traditional dresses are entirely different from other states traditional dresses.
