Mohammedan dancers Bombay

Two women strike a dance pose and hold hands. They wear ear, nose, arm and toe jewellery. This dance pose is unusual in Indian dance, as one dances either solo or in a group (but not in pairs). Assessment by Tessa Jahn (doctoral student at the FU Berlin): the costumes worn refer to the Katak dance (see also VIII C 8024)
