Living amidst the forest in symphony with the ways of nature, the Sahariyas are the last remaining tribes of Rajasthan. This group of self-sufficient people has lived all their lives without the use of modern day implements and speaks a local dialect called Haroti that is influenced by the languages of Hindi and Braj. The tribe possesses rich cultural traditions a paradigm of which is the Swang Dance - literally implying dance drama. It is an open air performance conducted by a group of about a dozen people and involves mimicry, acting, dialogues, songs, and dance. Sequenced episodes of drama are punctuated by the singing of season specific folk songs like Langhuria, Fag, and Rasia to the accompaniment of Harmonium, Dholki, Nagri, Ginghra, and Majhira. Swang Nritya is commonly performed at the time of the festival of colors � �Holi� and unique to it is the use of pronounced body painting and masks.
