Ghoomar
Ghoomar is a traditional folk dance of Rajasthan, India. The dance is chiefly performed by veiled women who wear flowing dresses called ghaghara.[1] It was ranked 4th in the list of "Top 10 local dances around the world" in 2013.[2][3] 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.[4][5] Ghoomar is often performed on special occasions, such as at weddings and during weddings, festivals and religious occasions.[6] which sometimes lasts for hours.
As a traditional dance, Ghoomar often includes traditional songs such as "Gorband", "Podina", "Rumal" and "Mor Bole Re". Songs might be centered on royal legends or their[whose?] traditions.
