   Live evening show, which introduces you to a variety of Indian dances, such as the Mer, Samai, Kalbelia, and Banjara. The Mer people perform their dance of manliness, where performers' stout physical appearance and fighting spirit is reflected in their dancing. The movement of their feet is very fast as they step like soldiers, applying considerable force in striking their sticks. The Samai dance is associated with traditional brass lamps, a Goan handicraft. The performance requires gymnastic skill to hold the lamp on the dancer's head during a variety of body movements with the accompaniment of folk musical instruments like the ghumat, samel, zanj, shehnai, and surt. The Kalbelia are traditionally known as a nomadic group in Rajasthan whose primary occupation was ensnaring snakes and trading snake venom. During social and ceremonial occasions, folk songs are sung and the women dance as if inspired by the rhythmic beat of the daf instrument.
