Culture of Rajasthan, a folk dance called Kalbeliya. The sensuous folk dance of the snake charmers community of Rajasthan.
I was there for the annual camel fair and the music festival which happened through out the month. Meeting many new tribes and dancers from all around the northern parts of India. Mainly the camel tribes, Kalbeliya dancers, traders and families.
Children learn this ancient trades and culture from their parents and elders, performing acts and dances to entertain the tourist, a cultural dance which use to be performed for the Maharajahs. Today’s its done for a tourism attraction and to make ends meet for the local tribes community.
A little behind the scenes of my time with one of the Kalbeliya dancers.
