Lambadi - The Dance of the Nomads

Associated with daily tasks like harvesting, planting, sowing etc., the lambadi is performed by the Banjaras, a semi-nomadic tribe populated in and around the twincites and also all over the sate. Costumes embroidered with glass beats and mirrors, ornate jewellary, ivory bangles, brass anklets and a natural rhythm make this dance a colourful exposition of joy which is the highlight of many a festive occassions.
