Dancing to the Heartbeat of Rajasthan’s Heritage!
Yesterday was international dance day and while scrolling the internet I realized that we are in times when western dance forms are becoming very much popular and little do we know about our culture regionally and being a dance enthusiast myself, here is a thought; why don’t we dig ourselves, head over heels into the different forms of folk dances from the place we belong.
The Indian dance tradition is thousands of years old and the Indian capital of culture and heritage, Rajasthan has a well-spread hand, when it comes to dancing. The folk and tribal dances play a pivotal role in a loud spell out of Rajasthan’s history, culture and chivalry. Music and dance are like blood in vessels of this historic inheritance.
As Rajasthan was ruled by dynasties of different cultures, every region depicts its difference in the range of dances and music performed. They have their own way of depicting their love stories, heroism, devotion and vote of thanks with their captivating moves and intriguing sounds of the long preserved culture.
There are few folk and tribal dances which are world-famous in fact and the sound of them are profound to our hearts. Let’s begin this enigmatic journey of digging a little deeper into the vibrant costumes and enchanting colours that are since forever aiding our eyes.
The famous dance introduced by Bhil tribes and later on adopted by royal communities of Rajasthan is performed by ladies on various occasions like Teej, Holi, marriage functions, several festivals and important events. Swaying hand and twirling in colourful Ghagra, paired with fascinating Choli and finally covered with a vibrant Chunari to complete the look; it’s just one beholden sight to look at. The graceful dance, coupled up with the traditional rhythm is all that spectators desire. This art form is performed mostly all over Rajasthan but hugely in places like Udaipur, Kota, Bundi and Jodhpur.
The well known Sapera Dance of Rajasthan, Kalbeliya was created by a tribal community name same as the dance form. The serpentine movement makes the dance one of is kind and fondly known as snake charmer dance. The black swirling ghagra with, angrakhi (jacket like blouse) and odhani on the top with traditional jewellery make the women look very attractive doing the snake-like movements. Men are on the instruments playing with the old pungi, dholak, dufli, morchang etc. and they sing folk and mythological songs. Seeing these singing and dancing groups, your eyes stay intact to the captivating performances. Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Barmer, Jalore, Jaipur, and Pushkar are some of the best places to enjoy this dance form.
The Rajasthani, male dominating dance was originated by the males of the Shekhawati region. In this dance form, men wear traditional dhoti & kurta paired with decorated turbans and ride on a dummy horse. This dance depicts the tales of local bandits and enacting it with sword fights; showing chivalry and bravery defined with flute. The dance is mostly performed in the regions of Jaipur and Udaipur along with Shekhawati regions.
A welcoming folk dance of Rajasthan, originating from the Bhil community is performed by both men and women. The loud drum beats of folk music make them sway in clockwise and anticlockwise movements with sticks, swords and arrows in their hands. The dance form also known as Dandi Gair can be seen in the Mewar and Shekhawati region of the state. Men wear a full-length tunic-like skirt and women wear the regional Ghagra choli. The art of this dance is seen on festivals like Holi and Janmashtami.
A very difficult form of dance that takes years to master, can be seen in the areas of Jodhpur, Jaipur, Bikaner and Udaipur. Mostly the women of Kalbelia, Meena, Bhil and Jaat tribes do this extraordinary form of ritualistic folk dance. The men sing along with harmonium, sarangi and dholak, and the women put eight or nine earthen pots on their heads, dancing and balancing. With every piece of equipment, it gets harder. Sometimes they perform on edge of a brass plate, sometimes on the edge of a sword, after that on a small steel pot and the toughest broken glasses. Not everyone’s cup of it, that is why people who watch this, geet struck in shock and amusement.
Kath means ‘wood’ and Putli means ‘doll with no life’, Kathputli is a famous dance show depicting stories, folklore, mythology and some of them showcasing social problems are presented with distinctive music and singing by the puppeteers themselves. The dolls are made mostly of mango trees and stuffed with cotton, approximately one and a half feet in height, which is manoeuvred and controlled by the puppeteers with strings attached to the puppets. Started by the Bhat tribe of Rajasthan, this entertaining folk dance goes more than 1000 years back. These puppets are made in the Bari, Sawai Madhopur and Udaipur region of Rajasthan. One can always witness a great puppet show at Bhartiya Lok Kala Mandal, Udaipur.
Chang, which originated from the Shekhawati region of Rajasthan is an enthusiastic folk dance. People start to perform this dance form from Shivratri and it ends on Dhulandi. It is a very fast-paced form of dance with upbeat rhythms of Chang instrument and this is the reason it is also known as Dhamaal. The best highlight of the dance is that men dress up as women ghoomar attires and then dance for celebrating the defeat of evil, making it much more fascinating to watch.
Dandiya is a colourful dance form performed with sticks by both men and women. The dancers pair themselves and dance on an eight beat cycle called Kherva, in a circle. The lines move clockwise and each person hits the sticks with their partner on the beats. Sometimes the line moves in such a way that enables moving on to the next person and switching partners. The sparkling dresses and music makes a viewer spectating over and even forces the soul to dance. This dance form can be seen in festivals and marriage functions of Major parts of Gujarat and almost all of Rajasthan.
The fire dance symbolising joy and a ritual of collecting water in a pot known as Chari is performed by the Saini and Gujjar community of Kishangarh and Ajmer area of Rajasthan. A woman wearing traditional robes, dance gracefully while balancing a brass pot kept on the head with a lit fire within. Not only that she performs stunts like never seen before and with utmost ease. This folk dance might look easy but is one of the toughest dance forms. The art form is accompanied by nagada, dholak and harmonium.
A dangerous and difficult form of Rajasthani folk dance, the fire dance is performed by Jasnathis of Churu and Bikaner which is carried out by the Banjara community on the festivities like Janmashtami and Holi. The dance form includes walking on the bed of burning coal, producing flames from the mouth, holding fire rods and twirling them on heads and legs. The dancers are very much trained and perform especially on cold nights. Bikaner, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, and Jaipur are some of the best places to catch this dance.
It is an ancient folk dance of Rajasthan performed by the ladies of the Kamada tribe. The women tie thirteen majiras on their body. They do vibrant yet graceful moves that directly hit the manjiras (brass discs) and make a musically rhythmic sound. Sometimes they put a sword in their mouth with a pot on the top of their heads and then perform the folk dance; this a visual aid and leaves the audience in a joyful surprise of perfection. The male artists sing a folk song and play different instruments like pakhwaja, dholak, jhanjhar, sarangi and harmonium. The ladies sit on the floor and dance in front of Baba Ramdeo’s image. The dance can be seen in Ramdevra, Didwana, Dungarpur and Udaipur.
Synopsis for Dances in Rajasthan –
A culture is a way of keeping history alive and Rajasthan is a hub. Dance is a medium for enchanting those folklores again and again and pass on the knowledge and tradition to the next generation. Preserving ancestral heritage is a great deed in itself. Building bonds of the future from the bewildering thread of the past will strengthen the unity and love amongst everyone.
We might be a little late acknowledging international dance day but there can never be a delay in celebrating dance, so let’s breathe our culture, dance out our fears and feel the beats of joy pump in the veins. The type of dance are just add on to increase the rich heritage and culture which is in built by the people of Rajasthan. By focusing on the dance of Rajasthan, the history and culture are observed as the most infinite pieces of how the culture is ensembled overall.
Wishing you and the dancer inside you, a very happy (belated) international dance day.

Savoring The Flavors Of Udaipur – Where Every Meal Is A Royal Feast!
When you are a first time traveler in a particular destination, you are not sure where to have a meal which is satisfying. Here I recommend 4 places which offer delicious food in great ambience and pleasing service. Most important, they are value for money and one does not regret spending on the meal.
399-400 Gopal Bhawan, Kalaji Goraji Marg, Near Vinayak Hotel, Udaipur
Viraasat as the name suggests is a restaurant where yu are served Traditional Rajasthani food in very pleasing ambience. They have seating in covered area as well as in the garden so ideal for soaking in the winter sun and enjoying the evenings by the seegris.
The menu is extensive with soups, salads and authentic Mewari food. I strongly recommend their thali which is delicious and value for money. They have Tandoor operational all the time and that’s a big plus point as you can enjoy Tandoori chapattis and other preparations. The locals love Viraasat’s Laal Maas, Bati, Choorma Ladoo and a lot more.
Very well maintained and operated professionally by the polite owners themselves.
Chandpole, Near Walking Bridge, Hanuman Ghat Area, Udaipur
Tucked nicely close to the walking bridge, this simple restaurant has very chilled out vibes. There is usually a team of two boys who look into your order, disappear in the kitchen and come up with a very well presented dish you ordered. You will be surprised to see an offbeat menu here with authentic Israeli and Korean dishes besides the popular Continental and Indian preparations. We tried Falafel Lifafa, Israeli Platter, Thupka and Momos – all were excellent in taste and presentation with mouth watering accompaniment dips and sauces.
And yes, ask for your favourite smoothie or Coffee with French fries and just soak in the calm environs for here is the peaceful side of the city right besides lake Pichola.
With warm service, decent pricing, this place is worth a visit.
Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace, 25, Sajjan vihar, near biological park, Udaipur
Known to be India’s 6th healthiest restaurant, the owners truly deserve a pat on the back for presenting food which is healthy, nutritious and uses forgotten Indian grains and millets. Their research to recreate special vegetarian recipes has been successful as the food is delicious. The menu is extensive and every dish is worth trying. Our vote goes for Millets Aloo Tikki and Daal Bati Churma thali which are absolutely outstanding.
The service is efficient and ambience very pleasing. They have vegan and gluten free options too. A must visit for offbeat, healthy food.
Rang Sagar, Udaipur
If you are seeking a place for a special occasion, then a meal at this restaurant is worth trying. Beautiful location by the lake and aesthetically done restaurant, it is a destination in itself, done on the theme of horses, legendary Chetak, to be precise.
Food is delicious though a bit on the high price. But then sometimes you pay for best memories. The candle lit tables, the view and service, everything combines to give a memorable experience indeed!
With such beautiful places in town, it attracts and encourages more people to visit and travel to Udaipur. As Udaipur has the best places, there are tourists to do not know about the serenity and beauty these places hold but are eager to know about them. The ambiance of the city is more engaging and these places hold special view and beautiful environment around.

Stress in the context of organizational psychology has been defined “as a dynamic condition in which an individual is confronted with an opportunity, demand, or resource related to what the individual desires and for which the outcome is perceived to be both uncertain and important.” (Luthans, 2007). An expansion of the last definition brings us to some important questions. What is stress? Is organizational stress different from daily life stress? Can we weave a life for ourselves where we are so-called stress-free? How to know that one is unable to cope with stress? In what ways does stress dampen sexual behaviour and experiences? This article makes an attempt to answer some of these questions.
To put simply, stress is a condition or unpleasant feeling experienced when a person perceives that the ‘demands’ faced by an individual exceed the personal and social resources that one has to deal with it. During stress, one may feel strained by “physical, mental, or emotional tension” (American institute of stress, 2021). Some amount of stress is known to enable us in moving towards our desirable goal, be it personal or professional. It sort of sets us in a momentum for change and adaptation which is healthy for everyone.
However, stress has a setup point, pretty much like the boiling point of water. Beyond that set point, it leads to clinically significant physiological and psychological outcomes. This set-point varies from person to person. The stress hormones pumping through our body usually encourage us to either fight or flight or freeze to cope with the overload. It depletes one’s healthy emotional reserves and definitely impacts sexual behavior as well. High-stress hormones floating in our body don’t leave much room for closeness with our partners, and slowly but surely, the sexual interest, intimacy, desires and involvement starts to wither away. Another rare manifestation of acute stress in some people may be uncontrollable hypersexuality as a compensatory mechanism to seek relieves stress, coupled with low sexual satisfaction, distress and guilt. Hypersexuality shows up as ‘recurring and uncontrollable sexual fantasies’ and leads to difficulty in establishing and maintaining a relationship with a stable romantic partner because of their preoccupation with sex. It may sometimes also lead to promiscuity and infidelity in relationships. Not only sexual but other social, interpersonal and psychological behaviors may also alter due to stress. So when one is stressed out, it may be hard for a person to deal with anything other than self or the source of stress.
Stressors impacting sexual functioning may be of two kinds:
a) Major life events i.e., death of a loved one, separation, loss of job /bankruptcy etc.
b) Minor daily life events which are in the form of an ‘accumulation of small stressors’ that are constantly or frequently present, such as deadlines that never seem to be met, constant arguments with a partner, financial risks etc.
Researchers opine that it is these ‘daily hassles’, and not ‘major life events, that were more linked to sexual difficulties (Kanner,1981). The negative interaction between chronic stress and sexual functioning may extend to reproductive functioning, fecundability and fertility in both men and women. These factors taken together as a whole may lower the quality of life and sexual and relational satisfaction.
It is a common myth that “stress should be eradicated from our lives, all together”. It’s not so. Stress appears to be a normal aspect and to an extent a healthy and evitable part of one’s life. It can lead to healthy self-growth as well. Learning ways to cope with it i.e., to “modify its magnitude and multi-system effects or become resilient to it” would be more a realistic ideology.
The sources of stress can be numerous. In the organizational context, work stress may be attributed to factors such as Intrinsic job requirements (work pattern, timing, duration, pressure, shift, new challenges), structure (physical space, climate, temperature, discomfort, consistency, transfers), job roles (transitions, conflicts, poor differentiation of roles, ambiguity, unpredictability), growth (lack of opportunities, security, promotions, incentives, recognition, perks), interpersonal relations (with authority, peers, juniors, in teams, communication styles, responsibility allocation/taking, coordination, political, threat, domination) and intrapersonal factors (personality, temperament, belief systems, cognitive style, stereotypes, socio-cultural, developmental etc) (Luthans, 2007). In the latter context, organizational stress may take the form of daily stressors, interacting in complex fashions within a person.
How one responds to stress is an interesting variable. Just like sources of Stress, a person’s response to stress too can be acute or chronic. Acute Stress-induced ‘fight or flight or freeze reactions help to defend and built immediate protective strategies against problems. Our body takes about 90 minutes for the metabolism to return to normal. This is only when the acute response is over. The mind may still keep responding to ‘what happened to me, how and why for much longer periods of time.
Sometimes stress becomes ongoing and evolves into chronic stress. Longstanding uncontrolled stress has the opposite effect. It causes significant wear and tears to several systems such as respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, endocrinal, Musculoskeletal, neurological, dermatological, immunological, sexual and reproductive etc. Some of the bio-behavioural outcomes of stress may be persistent or progressive complaints of headaches, fatigability, insomnia, lethargies, worsening of psychosomatic illnesses, irritability, anger, anxiety, depression, loneliness, frustration, emptiness, avoidance, lack of enthusiasm, self-negligence, unworthiness, hopelessness, helplessness, vulnerability, worrying, crying spells, death wishes, recourse into addictive behaviours, digital addictions, interpersonal dissatisfactions, emotional outbursts, sexual dysfunctions and frequent relational disputes.
Stress response at a psychological level keeps evolving as we grow, with both new learning and experiences. It can be easily unlearnt and re-learnt. This means that, once we get aware of our maladaptive behaviours, we can unlearn them and turn towards more adaptive as well as healthy means of coping. A healthy stress response aids in building psychological resilience and physical recovery. It helps the biological capacity to cope with a cascade of acute and chronic stress effects.
Some of the easy ways of coping with stress could be:
Additionally, de-cluttering the mind may help. It involves re-organizing ones living environment to have a clean, fresh, arranged, aerated physical space, journalizing one’s experiences, ditching technology and reducing screen time and substituting it with other joyous activities. At times going minimalistic on self/others’ demands and doing “nothing at all” for a while also can be really helpful. Reconnecting with nature via soothing activities can also have an excellent mood-regulating effect.
Needless to say, if stress-induced symptoms are continuous for two to three weeks and are significant to cause distress or disturbances in one’s interpersonal, intimate life or socio-occupational activities, then this is a red-light situation. It warrants a general medical check-up and psychological evaluation.
In the words of the popular American author and psychotherapist Richard Carlson, “Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness”. It is probably less stigmatizing and illusionary to disclose oneself as “stressed or worked up” and resort to cures for the same. Any situation/event can be the starting point of a new journey and opportunity. Seizing it can open the path to transformative growth for any individual.

For most people, family is a ray of hope in their existence. And to ensure the safety of the family, they can take any measures. But for the family’s breadwinner, there are always concerns regarding the family’s safety even in their absence. The best way to protect the future of your family is through planning. And that too as early as possible. Read on to more about how to plan for your family’s future.
The first and foremost thing to do while planning for a family’s future is to create a budget. A budget will give you a clear understanding of the sources of income and expense channels. This will, in turn, lead you to the next step, managing the expenses.
You can drastically reduce the total family expenditure each year by managing your expenses. As we all know, saving money is earning money. So, you can use this saved money for other requirements. And if there are no special requirements, you can divert these funds into savings and investments.
The benefits of investments always outweigh those of savings. As investments grow over time rather than accumulate, like in the case of savings, they can beat inflation. Inflation decreases the value of money with the passage of time. So, to ensure that your fund’s value doesn’t decrease over time, you must always choose investment plans with interest rates higher than the projected inflation rates. Some of the preferred investments that provide high returns are:
• Term Insurance Plans
• Gold
• Equity
• Stocks
• Mutual Funds
• Assets
• Bonds
• Government Savings Schemes
• Post Office Schemes
Term insurance plans are considered to be an effective choice in India by many generations. The main attraction of buying a term insurance plan is higher sum assured. Term insurance policies can provide the maximum cover even with a lesser premium. Given below is a general flow of procedures involved in purchasing the best term plan.
Like any other mode of investment or payment, there are several things that you must consider before purchasing term insurance. The foremost things to do before purchasing are comparison and reliability of insurance providers. These allow you to choose a credible insurer who will be of use when you need them the most. You can even get a rough knowledge of the insurer’s credibility by knowing their claim-settlement ratio.
The selection procedure after finalizing an insurer involves the customization of plans and choosing the most suitable plan. By doing so, you can reduce a lot of monetary burden from your family expenses towards a term insurance plan. Before finalizing and purchasing the best term plan, ensure that you have gone through the policy terms and conditions. Their knowledge will clarify the liabilities and hidden clauses in the policy.
Best insurance plan providers give online and offline payment options to the customer. Even though the online mode is convenient and has the benefits of insurer offers and schemes, offline purchasing will provide you with first-hand consultation from an authorized insurance agent. It will help you further know your chosen plan in a better way.
Understanding the claim procedures will always come in handy in times of dire need. It is always advisable that at least two family members learn the claim procedures other than the policyholder.
A Term Insurance Plan is the best method to protect the future of your family. You can find several insurers who provide maximum returns to the policyholder’s family in case of their untimely demise.
These above mentioned steps are of help for managing the finances of the family members and the one’s who have yet not managed them according to their needs and wants. It is also essential for the purpose of family business and profession to manage their finances so that the other amenities and facilities are catered as per the needs and budget framing structure each month.
