100HappyDays Day 28 - Tribal Music

Happiness is listening to tribal music

The tribal music in Rajasthan is very soothing. During my trip to Jaipur this week, I came across the women who sing from door to door.

The family wedding celebrations were on, all the women were busy tattooing the henna on their hands and feet. Normally there are dances and singing by family members during these occasions. But the ceremony had just started, we were all spread out in the big lawn and all we could hear were the murmurs of the private conversations and soft breeze in the air.

Suddenly we heard the loud beating of the drums. At the gate were two women, one playing the drums while other woman singing folk music. It was pleasant to the ear. I went forward to click their pictures and the singer began to dance as well, her long skirt spread out like a balloon as she twirled round and round.

It was a happiest moment to see them perform so spontaneously.

So here I am, with the project of ‘100 Happy Days’I am posting pictures each day here on my blog then sharing the link on my page on FB too. You can enjoy my work either here or on my page at FB at Pushee’s World
