Folk Dances of India

A state-by-state visual guide to India's folk-dance traditions. Each entry pairs an illustration of the costume and key posture with a short description of the form's origin and occasion. Designed for the cultural-awareness segment of NID DAT and the visual-identification questions in UCeed.

Deep enough to give you confidence on identification questions; light enough to flip through in an evening.
