| MAYUR DANCE - UTTAR PRADESH | |
 |
Mayur dance is created from an episode of love
between Radha and Krishna. This dance belongs to
the Braj region of Uttarpradesh. In that Radha ,
pinning for Krishna after a bried sepration,
decides to console herself by the sight of
peacocks, whose feathers, Krishna wears on his
crown, at the Mor Kuti pavillion. Krishna Knowing her mind from afar, playfully causes the peacocks to disappear, leaving Radha distraught. He eventually yields to Radha's entreaties and himself appears in the guise of a peacock to dance with his beloved. |
