They\n spend their time with their families and beloved ones. And this is the\n time when the Dhangari Gaja dance is performed to please their God for\n His blessings.\nDhangar dance is performed in traditional Marathi dresses - dhoti,\n angarakha and pheta with colourful handkerchiefs. Generally, during they\n dance, they move around a group of drum players.', u'editable': u'false', u'ranges': [{u'start': u'/div[5]/div[1]/div[1]/div[3]', u'end': u'/div[5]/div[1]/div[1]/div[3]', u'startOffset': 0, u'endOffset': 742}], u'text': u'Dhangari Gaja folk dance', u'permissions': {u'admin': [], u'read': [], u'update': [], u'delete': []}} created: Mon, 30 Mar 2015, 11:14 AM UTC
