Gujarat’s traditional dance, Dandiya Raas, is quite popular worldwide. Specifically, people celebrate Navratri with Dandiya Raas with colorful sticks and clothing. However, some people might not be aware of Talwar Raas, a traditional dance form. Unlike Dandiya, no one can perform this traditional dance. Talwar Raas is a traditional dance form in which the performers showcase their sword skills, and Rajput women are known to dance.
Recently, a video surfaced online showing Rajput women performing the traditional dance wielding swords. The group includes women from different age groups. The women are seen dancing flawlessly and in proper sync. Most importantly, they dance carefully without causing any trouble.
As claimed, the women belong to the Rajput community and such a daring act is a part of tradition for Rajputana women.
The video, created by Kinjalba_562, was shared on Instagram and has gone viral on various social media platforms. While users have liked the video massively, the comments section is flooded with praise for the Rajputana women performing the daring act.
Notably, Talwar Raas is a traditional dance performed by Rajput women dedicated to Goddess Durga. Women dance in traditional attire to commemorate Rajpuy war heroes who laid their lives during the historic war of Bhuchar Mori in 1591. With this performance, the Rajput women keep the history alive, and it is a gesture to send out a message that women today are just as powerful as they were years back.
