Ghoomar is a traditional folk dance of Rajasthan and Haryana. It was Bhil tribe who performed it to worship Goddess Sarasvati which was later embraced by other Rajasthani communities.[1][2][3][4][5] The dance is chiefly performed by veiled women who wear flowing dresses called ghaghara.[6] It was ranked 4th in the list of "Top 10 local dances around the world" in 2013.[7][8] The dance typically involves performers pirouetting while moving in and out of a wide circle. The word ghoomna describes the twirling movement of the dancers and is the basis of the word ghoomar.[9][10]

According to the traditional rituals, newly married bride is expected to dance ghoomar on being welcomed to her new marital home.[11] Ghoomar is often performed on special occasions, such as at weddings, festivals and religious occasions.[12] which sometimes lasts for hours.
