Evening Excursion: Bagore Ki Haveli Dance Show in Udaipur
3 h
Evening
About this activity
You will be picked up at your hotel in Udaipur for the transfer to Bagore Ki Haveli for the live evening show, which introduces you to a variety of Indian dances, such as the Mer, Samai, Kalbelia, and Banjara.
The Mer people perform their dance of manliness, where performers' stout physical appearance and fighting spirit is reflected in their dancing. The movement of their feet is very fast as they step like soldiers, applying considerable force in striking their sticks.
The Samai dance is associated with traditional brass lamps, a Goan handicraft. The performance requires gymnastic skill to hold the lamp on the dancer's head during a variety of body movements with the accompaniment of folk musical instruments like the ghumat, samel, zanj, shehnai, and surt.
The Kalbelia are traditionally known as a nomadic group in Rajasthan whose primary occupation was ensnaring snakes and trading snake venom. During social and ceremonial occasions, folk songs are sung and the women dance as if inspired by the rhythmic beat of the daf instrument. The movements are often reminiscent of the graceful and supple movements of the snake.
The nomadic Banjara people reside in the border area of southern Maharashtra. The attractively dressed women, laden with ornaments, are a distinctive feature of this community, which earns its livelihood through physical labor. During festivals and other occasions, the women bedecked in traditional finery dance all night in celebration. Instruments provide the musical accompaniment to the specific circular patterns, which evolve with the show in a tempo of the traditional songs.
After the show, you will be transferred back to your hotel.
