During the rains, the famous Ratvai dance is the favourite of the Mewati’s. The Been-bansuri dance goes on with the accompaniment of been (a wind instrument) and bansuri (flute). An earthen pitcher is used as a miniature drum, with its mouth covered with strips of rubber and played with both hands. For the Gugga dance, devotees of Gugga (a saint) dance around his grave in his honour and sing songs in his praise.
Marriages are another occasion for a dance. The Khoria is popular when a boy is getting married, while the Ghoomar and the Gangaur puja dances are religious.
