Abstract:
Dance is found among all the men and women, whether in primitive or advanced societies. Its functions vary in these societies from religious to pure entertainment. So, in all probability, dance goes back as far as man himself, but its styles and forms are many, some very new or at least seemingly so, and others of great antiquity. The music and dances of Rajasthan are so appealing and soothing that it matches so well with the strange and wonderous land. The state of Rajasthan has a very vibrant, highly evolved, tradition of performing arts carefully nurtured and sustained over the centuries. The art of folk music and dance is popular amongst the tribal people of Rajasthan. This spectacular beauty of the land of Rajasthan is eluted with the folk music and dances performed by the native people.
