this dance belongs to the rajasthani community. Atleast the costumes do! Rajasthan is a state in India...most of it is a desert. Notice the thick white bangles...that is very unique to that community.
There you go. I would never have known the part about the costumes and where they come from. Shek provided it. Nice post. I like the community spirit.
