Folk dancer from Kalbelia tribe, Rajasthan, India. She is dancing the Kalbelia (a very sensuous and spectacular dance).
The Kalbelia tribe is an extremely interesting community. It is a nomadic Indian tribe. They originally used to earn for living by catching snakes, trading snake venom, and entertaining the public with these reptiles. The life of Kalbelians was so linked to snakes that their traditional costumes, folklore, and customs are connected much to these reptiles.
