In their hands are swords. They move the horses as if they are riding it. They swirl the swords in their hands in sync with the beats of music.\n\nAs part of the heritage of Rajasthan this dance is performed when the groom is getting married. It is performed at the party given by the bridegroom. The dancers conduct mock fights amongst themselves. They enact many scenes of real-life wars that happened. The men don\u2019t necessarily look like warriors. They more or less look like dancers.\n\nTherefore, the mock fighting is taken lightly and in its true essence. Most dancers wear red turbans and their dhotis and kurtas are designed to perfection. They ride their decked dummy horses rhythmically. Alongside them drummers and singers accompany their acts providing background music.\n\nThis dance originated in the Shekhawati region. It is a vigorous dance although there is a lot of colour involved. Dancers display aggression and purpose. Although they are dancing, they are also fighting. They gently balance both these acts with finesse.', u'permissions': {u'read': [], u'admin': [], u'update': [], u'delete': []}, u'text': u'Kachhi Ghodi Rajasthan', u'tags': [u'Rajasthan', u'Kachhi-Ghodi-dance']} created: Mon, 01 Jun 2015, 11:52 AM UTC
