Kachi Ghodi Dance Rajasthan

The centuries of history that has piled up behind Rajasthan has resulted, among other things, in the accumulation of a very rich folk culture. The Kachi Ghodi Dance Rajasthan is one of the most popular Folk Dances In Rajasthan.

The Kachi Ghodi Dance In Rajasthan India is performed on dummy horses. Men in elaborate costumes- red turbans and dhotis and kurtas ride the well decorated dummy horses. With naked swords in their hands, these dancers move rhythmically to the beating of drums and fifes while a singer narrates the exploits of the Bavaria bandits of Shekhawati. This dance is always performed by men.

The performing arts of Rajasthan mostly hail from the tribes of Rajasthan and are reflective of the socio historical scenario peculiar to the time or race they depict. Horses have always been a very important part of warfare and transportation in Rajasthan. The legend of the valiant Rana Pratap Singh goes untold without the mention of his loyal vehicle- Chetak. Horses, as much as they were the symbol of royal power, were also used by the bandits and highwaymen who found it easy to stop people traveling on elephants of bullock carts with their horses.

Specially, notorious were the bandits of the Shekhawati region, owing mostly to the high concentration of businessmen and traders in that part of Rajasthan. And traders meant money; and traders meant long overnight journeys on caravans laden with expensive wares. The Kachi Ghodi Dance Rajasthan depicts the confrontation of the bandits of the Bavaria clan of tribes with the passing commoners.
