Holidays to Rajasthan

Any tale about Rajasthan is incomplete with a mention about music and dance. Almost every region of Rajasthan has its own very dialect of music and dance. The Ghoomar dance from Udaipur and Kaibeliya dance of Jaisalmer are greatly admired every where in the world. Through these songs the legendary stories about Rajputana battles are told. Music and dance are deeply ingrained in Rajasthani life. With the use of a number of musical instruments including sarangi, kamaycha, satara, nad, and morchang, the environment takes us back to the old periods of Rajputs.

Accompanied by the heat and dust storms, are the folk dances of Rajasthan that keeps them going under such harsh living conditions. Folk music is a very important part of Rajasthani culture. Songs that are sung summarise the stories of battles of Rajputs. Folk songs are commonly ballads which relate heroic deeds, love stories, and religious or devotional songs known as bhajans and banis and often accompanied by musical instruments like dholak, sitar, sarangi etc.
