Manglagaur Dances.

Among Brahmans and other advanced classes, women after their marriage have to worship for the period of five years on each Tuesday of Sravana the goddess Parvati commonly known as Manglagaur. The puja ceremony and the feast is over by noon and by evening after light refreshments the real entertainment programme starts. It consists of a variety of folk-dances and lasts even till day-break, if the participants are enthusiastic. The whole show is purely a concern of females, and phugadis and other folk-dances displayed at the time can be called dances of the females.
