Beautiful singing before the folk dance show begins! I recenly visited Udaipur in Rajasthan, Udaipur is undoubtedly one of the most beatiful lake cities of India. Udaipur's breathtaking views and rich dance culture make it apt for tourists. The folk dance performances happen every evening at Bagore Ki Haveli, a palace on Lake Pichola that dates back to the 18th century. This is one of the best cultural shows I have ever witnessed. I was touched by every performance especially by the performane of a 70 year old artist who danced with eight to ten mud pots on her head, her balancing act was out this world.  Below are some of the beautiful performances of the evening. Lets begin with  CHAARI DANCE OF RAJASTHAN. In Chari dance women light fire in their pots, and then balance these brass pots on their heads and happily dance! The sight is dramatic and leaves you in awe.  https://youtu.be/g1XLcFffe2k GORBANDH DANCE GAVARI - A Dance Drama of Bhils! ...
