So todays theme is

MOVEMENT (Shaking, Falling, Bouncing, Jumping, Curling, Sagging,…)

And what better to represent it than a Kalbeliya Dance

 

Some information on Kalbeliya from google

One of the most sensuous dance forms of Rajasthan, performed by the Kalbeliya snake charmers’ community, the sapera dancers wear long, black skirts embroidered with silver ribbons. As they spin in a circle, their body sways acrobatically, so that it is impossible to believe that they are made of anything other than rubber. As the beat increases in tempo, the pace increases to such a pitch that it leaves the viewer as exhausted as the dancer. Their women whirl and sway in village fairs. The pace is fast, and combined with their colourful costumes and sinuous bodies the effect is heady.

Watching the Kalbeliya women dance is an experience which is a must have in life I think. The women have a rare balance of beauty, rustiness, grace, elegance, energy and sensuality when they are dancing

A sight to watch and cherish forever

When I first read about Project 365 on nags blog I found it very daunting, I mean an year is a very long commitment and I left it but my mind had not forgotten about it and it was in my background all the time and this morning I woke up with this nagging feeling to do it and posted it on my FB, my fellow friend Pals told me she is game to join it too and here we start on the project today though to be easier on self I have changed the rules a bit. I will post a pic every day but I might not be a click done on the same day (but like nags I will mention the same). On the days I am travelling I might schedule the posts and go and naturally that would mean posting pictures which are not clicked that day. So guys wish me and Pal luck on this…

So here is the first pic, clicked on 27th January in Khimsar, Jodhpur, Rajasthan

Yes yes u will see a lot of Rajasthan pictures for sometime now and yes I was (still am) on a break next posts will be scheduled
