Bhavai is a folk dance style of which of the following states?

The correct answer is Rajasthan . Key Points Bhavai is a popular folk dance style primarily performed in the western Indian state of Rajasthan , particularly in regions like Udaipur , Chittorgarh , and Jhalawar . This dance is traditionally performed by women belonging to the Jat , Bhil , Raigar , Meena , and Kumhar communities, often accompanied by male musicians. The performance is characterized by its high level of balancing skill , where female dancers balance a series of brass pitchers or earthen pots (ranging from 7 to 9) on their heads while dancing. While balancing the pots, the performers execute complex movements such as dancing on the edge of a sword , the rim of a brass plate , or on broken glass pieces. The musical accompaniment typically includes instruments like the Dholak , Jhanjhar , Pakhwaj , and Sarangi , which provide the rhythmic foundation for the fast-paced footwork.
