Itinerary
Live evening show, which introduces you to a variety of Indian dances, such as the Mer, Samai, Kalbelia, and Banjara. The Mer people perform their dance of manliness, where performers' stout physical appearance and fighting spirit is reflected in their dancing. The movement of their feet is very fast as they step like soldiers, applying considerable force in striking their sticks. The Samai dance is associated with traditional brass lamps, a Goan handicraft. The performance requires gymnastic skill to hold the lamp on the dancer's head during a variety of body movements with the accompaniment of folk musical instruments like the ghumat, samel, zanj, shehnai, and surt. The Kalbelia are traditionally known as a nomadic group in Rajasthan whose primary occupation was ensnaring snakes and trading snake venom. During social and ceremonial occasions, folk songs are sung and the women dance as if inspired by the rhythmic beat of the daf instrument.

Really good cultural dance show. A bit tricky to navigate the roads leading to location - with constant motorbikes and tuktuks driving along narrow streets making things difficult for foot traffic.
Dear Mr. Salesh Thank you for your kind words about our cultural dance show. We’re delighted to know you enjoyed the performance. We appreciate your feedback regarding the approach roads. As the venue is located within a traditional area, the streets can indeed be narrow and busy at times. Your comments are valuable, and we will certainly look into ways to make access clearer and more comfortable for our guests, including improved guidance and directions. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to welcome you again soon.
The performances were very good. All the artists were in traditional dress. The music was also good. Must visit. Please book the tickets online so you don't have to go early to purchase the tickets.
