Culture & Tradition of Rajasthan
 Rajasthan has a vibrant culture and a
thousand-year-old heritage. The official language of the state is
Hindi but the primary spoken language is Rajasthani. There are
however deviations according to various regions. For instance,
Malwi in South-East Rajasthan, Mowati in North East Rajasthan and
Jaipuri in the eastern part of the state to name just a few.
The music and dance scene is vibrant with each region having its
own brand of entertainment. Udaipur's Ghoomar dance, Gair Ghoomer
dance of the Bheel tribals, the fire dance of Jasnathis to name
just a few of the popular dances of Rajasthan. As far as music is
concerned both devotional as well as festive music recitals are
performed and instruments include both stringed and the
autophonic instruments along with percussion. The Sarangi, jantar
and Ektara are some of Rajasthan's most popular musical
instruments.
