The dancing is done to the particular songs which are sung during fairs, weddings ceremonies and festivals. The dance conjures at a fast, rhythmic pace and with exaggerated facial expressions.\n\nThe lead-dancer singer is accompanied by a group of singers. Earlier the lead singers used to be women, but now males play the part of women. The songs take the shape of question and answer format and the lead singer and the singers on the outside participate in a musical argument. The female carries a mirror in one hand and a handkerchief in another hand; she waxes eloquent about her beauty and charm at the same time mocking her male partner.'} created: Mon, 22 Sep 2014, 04:52 PM UTC
