A
cultural extravaganza initially welcomes the guest. Local artistes dance to
the welcome hoot of a Bankiya, and the beat of Dholak. The steps and the rhythm
are swift and upbeat. The flowing mirrored skirts reflected the flames of the
evening campfire. Then comes the man spitting fire to the night. Beside him,
dance the girls with a pot of blazing flames placed on head. Its indeed
a fiery dance.
The
Sun disappears behind Silserh mountains, when the tour continues towards Sariska,
the Tiger den. Dusk does not fall in this region at once. It takes its own pleasant
time to slowly express itself. Mountains start assuming queer and weird shapes;
birds can be spotted flying homewards. It is time for evening fires. An unusually
sharp pair of mountains en route, which are about 200 metres away from each
other, is known as Natni Ka Bara (Natni, being the Nautch girl). It is believed
that one Natni tied a rope between the cliffs and crossed the distance without
experiencing fear of any kind. When the ecstatic crowd showed her the distance
and told her the consequence of a fall from such a height, she collapsed of
a heart attack.| Fairy Queen || About Fairy QueenTrain || Fairy Queen History || Fairy Queen Tour Attractions || Fairy Queen Schedule || The Fairy Queen Tour Details |
