The Tippani folk dance is a dance \n of such a variety in which women labourers engaged in construction work, \n strike the floor with long sticks called Tippani. They have a rhythmic \n musical process to escape the tedium of the toil involved in their arduous \n task. The tribes in Gujarat have their own virile forms of the folk dances.\n The costumes and the instruments used during these folkdances \n are also typical folk costumes which mostly consist of a short coat called \n Kedia with tight sleeves with embroidered borders and shoulders, tight \n trousers like\xa0 the Churidars and colourfully embroidered caps or \n coloured turbans and a coloured waist band.\n Damru, Tabla, Nagara, and pot drum are among the instruments; \n percussion, Ektaro, Ravan hattho, and Jantar are among the string instruments \n and Pavo, shehani, murli, turi, and taturi are wind instruments used as\xa0 \n accompaniments in the folk dances.', u'editable': False, u'ranges': [{u'start': u'/center[1]/table[4]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[3]/td[1]/p[1]/b[1]', u'end': u'/center[1]/table[4]/tbody[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[3]/td[1]/p[3]', u'startOffset': 1, u'endOffset': 274}], u'text': u'constructor women folk dance now also danced in cultural program by other frmales.', u'permissions': {u'read': [], u'admin': [], u'update': [], u'delete': []}} created: Tue, 03 Mar 2015, 07:49 AM UTC
