That evening we attended the Rajasthani arts performance at a haveli just a stone’s throw from our hotel. I had attended it on my previous visit to Udaipur and found it to be a well-crafted performance, giving visitors a sampling of some of the different folk arts and dances of Rajasthan. The colorful costumes of the fire pot dancers and young veiled women swirled in fast dancing. The female marionette did her shimmying and male marionette comically played with his decapitated head. I was also pleased to see the older woman (around 64) expertly balance and dance with clay pots on her head - eleven at the end of the performance.
