A Tribal Dance

Posted by chakrapani (Hyderabad, India) on 15 March 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

This is the costume of a rare tribe in the state Andhra Pradesh in India.
The headgear is a highlight and the dancers smear ash over their body ,
abstain from bathing and materialistic pleasures for a month before this dance is performed . This dance is said to be performed to appease the rain god and for prosperity.
