Gait Ghoomar

This is one of the many dance forms of the Bhil tribals. Performed during Holi festival, this is among a few performances where both men and women dance together, dressed in traditional costume. At the commencement of the dance, participants form two circles, the women, who form a small inner circle, are encompassed by men, who form a large circle around them, and who determine the rhythm of the dance by the beating together of sticks and striking of drums. As the dance proceeds, the participants change places, with men forming the inner circle.
