India has a great deal of diversity throughout its length and width, which adds to the variety of its tourism. Traditions, languages, regional differences, wearing styles, and so on are all part of a large array of offerings that are eagerly absorbed by both locals and visitors from other countries.

Rajasthan has multiple traditional folk dances to call its own, as it is home to a diverse range of tribes and indigenous cultures. Ghoomar is a challenging traditional folk dance from Rajasthan, India. The Bhil tribe of Rajasthan created this traditional dance called ‘Ghoomar’. It was later adopted by other Rajasthani communities, earning the title of “state folk dance.”

Most Rajasthani households, regardless of royal position, conduct it on significant occasions and festivals including Teej, Holi, the start of monsoon season, and the arrival of a newly married bride at her marital home.

The term Ghoomar comes from the term ‘ghoomna’ means pirouetting or spinning about, which is how it got its name. A group of women perform the dance while wearing a veil on their heads and dressed in traditional attire. The women maintain the speed with exquisite and elegant gestures such as pirouettes, finger-snapping, beating palms, and other hand and foot movements.

Ghoomna, which features women twirling about as the ghagra provides a whirling motion, is a trademark step that everyone performs. Some Ghoomar artists dance with brass pitchers or earthen pots on their heads or utilize fire lamps to perform this traditional dance. The dance is fascinating to witness because of the women’s synchronized moves and whirling colorful costumes.

The stunning and colorful costumes are one characteristic that may contribute to the long-term appeal of this traditional dance form. Ghagra and choli embellished with mirrors, crystals, stones, or threadwork are the most common garments worn by women while performing Ghoomar. Women also wear extensive jewelry and accessories, in addition to extravagant traditional attire.
