Each region of Rajasthan has its own dialect of music and dance. The Ghoomer dance of Udaipur and Kalbeliya dance of Jaisalmer are world-famous. Folk music is a very important part of Rajasthan culture. A large variety of musical instruments is used in the countryside. Dholaks, chang or manzira, flutes, trumpets are generally used. Amazingly rich music of Rajasthan has an extraordinary individuality, tradition and exotic flavour. Songs are generally related for every occasion with rich emotional content, almost an endless variety of tunes, quite a few delightful dance forms, and a large number of musical instruments, all a collective creation of the folks which is retained by them in its traditional form and character and passed from one generation to the other.
