Folk Dances and Music
of Haryana and Rajasthan
by Mulk Raj Sidana
Every aspect of life in India inspires rural people to celebrate in one way or the other, but it manifests best in folk music and dances. The people of Haryana and Rajasthan have a striking similarity in the musical instruments and the dances they accompany. The people of both states believe in the saying: “The tribe which dances does not die.”
