Meet Dimple..
She's from Udaipur and has come to Kumbalgarh for a dance performance with her friends .
Dimple has just appeared for her Class X exams and says she has learnt the dances from her mother
She says she has been dancing she was eight years old.
And she is very clear when she says -" yeh math samjho ki mein eh paise ke liye kar rahi hoon . Mein heroine banna chahathi hoon. Mera favourite hero hai John Abraham."
("Dont think Im doing this all for money..I am doing all this because I want to become a heroine. My favourite hero is John Abraham."
I couldnt take a video of her solo performance, but here is a short clip .I love the haunting music.Thanks for watching.I think its people like Dimple who make your travels worthwhile..At 15 she is so sure about what she wants and where she wants to go..With stars in her eyes and great talent, hopefully she will go places.

Like a whiff of fresh air. Its so nice to see a young woman, so pucca on what she wants to do, enjoying it, travelling the country, eyes wide open, and bringing so much joy to those who watch. All this in a milieu where young people rush from class to special class, tuitions, and insecure attitudes, all to follow the herd. I know it costs money to learn and perform too. But she seems to be so pleased about what she is doing and wants to do. Cant say that about the rest of the junta.
It's been fun, reading about your travels in Kumbalgarh and to show case what's it like there, for me and many others who have not been there. This young kid seems to show a lot of talent and promise and one would absolutely wish that she'd get noticed. It's really nice of you to showcase this young talent.
I hav always been a fan of Rajasthani folk music and dance forms..this is good.
I envy u for the kinda life u hav...u get to see so much of our country
Beautiful pictures and lovely clip Lakshmi.
I love the costumes, so bright and beautiful, and for someone who can't walk down a flight of stairs with a cup of coffee in their hand, the grace and balance of these young women is astounding!
Thank you for sharing this!

Incredible...absolutely gorgeous...
as Capt. Murthy says...they are amazing...!
they have a tension in their bodies - a holding of social norms - but a freedom and flow of movement - an expression of God moving through us.
I wonder if they would agree with my outsider's musings...?

All the best to her!
Couldn't be better. Super photos!

Enjoyed the short video clip. Reminded me of the dances at Choki Dani, Jaipur.
It's so great to see young girls to follow their dreams with such an attitude! And you Indian girls are so drop dead gorgeous - I always felt like a clumsy and sweaty square and strange package in the middle of such grace :)
