the ancient Rajput. If you are planning

part of the traditions of Rajasthan. This
wonderful land is characterized by its
superior music and dance. They are a form
of hypnotizing factor or element of dance
and singing styles of this place. The
general trend of life is beautifully translated
by the way music is performed. From this
point of view, music is unified with life

too is spontaneous and dynamic. There

with Rajasthani dances are difficult to
put into words. The Kachhi-ghodi ritual
dance is worth mentioning in this context.

folk ballads. In Mewar, another form of
dance is performed. All men taking part
in the dance put on costumes studded with
