Synopsis

Pride of Rajasthani as a traditional folk dance form of  from Rajasthan, India, transcends as mere regional "entertainment" Aesthetic system , goes beyond its status and  role as a mere regional entertainment to represent an aesthetic system The Bhil tribal customs of Marwar brought originated this dance which used to germinated from the rituals and rituals, courtly manners and group emotions. Herein the current work attempts to assess the history of Ghoomar, its complex aesthetic structure of Chatushashti Kala and Rasa theories and as a key economic value chain center for propping up local crafts, and women's self-dependence. According to the study, Ghoomar is a lively cultural value chain and aesthetic and intense socio-economic contribution compel its historic convergence. The present paper attempts to analyze the historical trajectory of Ghoomar, its complex aesthetic framework rooted  in Chatushashti Kala and Rasa theories and also its significance as a core economic value chain for sustaining local craft and women’s-self reliance. The study therefore contends that Ghoomar brings a robust and dynamic cultural value chain, and that its historical convergence, aesthetic shareholding as well as fierce socio-economy be perceived by India’s out of reach policy architecture and an equivalent deserving attention.
