Ghoomar is a traditional dance form which has its origin at Marwar in Rajasthan and performed to worship Goddess Saraswati. The women are dressed in beautifully adorned swirling long robes known as Ghagharas. Translucent or opaque veils are also worn along with the ghagara-cholis. Kundan, mirror or silver jewelleries were used as accessories for the dance. The basic step of Ghoomar is ‘ghoomna’ or a twirling movement accompanied by clapping of hands and moving in circular fashion. The graceful dance form is presented usually by newly married young brides at their new home where the vibrant whirling skirts create a kaleidoscope of colors and spreads happiness and jubilation. Colours like red and green are considered auspicious for religious gatherings and denotes prosperity. It is also performed in wedding ceremonies or religious events. Ghoomar was started in Rajasthan communities during the Rajput rule.
