Gaur Dance

Gaur Dance

Gaur dance is a popular folk dance of Madhya Pradesh dances.

 Gaur dance is popular in the Sing Marias or Tallaguda Marias of South Bastar.

Men put head-dresses with stringed 'cowries' and plumes of peacock feathers and make their way to the dancing ground.

Women ornamented with brass fillets and bead necklaces with their tattooed bodies also join the gathering.

The men beat the drums, tossing the horns and feathers of their head-gears to the rising tempo that gives the dance a wilder touch.
