Lavni: The Great Indian Folk Dance
September 102009
Lavani is a combination of traditional song and dance, which particulary performed to the enchanting beats of ‘Dholak’, an drum like instrument. This dance is performed by attractive women wearing nine-yard saris. The women gyrate on the pulsating beats of traditional music.
The word Lavani originates from “Lavanya”, meaning beauty. Earlier, this art form dealt with different and varied subject matters such as society, religion, politics, romance, etc.
Lavani was used as a form of entertainment and morale booster to the tired soldiers during the 18th and 19th century Maratha battle.

I am Gujarat and this is God munjara dance or the dance of Hookers, this is not a folk dance.
Calling it folk dance is an insult to Maharastra people and their culture.

Terrible video editing. You can never see the dancer’s whole body for more than a second, so it’s impossible to really follow the dance. Totally amateur.
