Gawri is a religious dance-drama of the Bhils.It is performaned by Bhil men in
the month of Shravana and Bhadra(july-august). The dance revolves around the
worship of the deity Bhairavanath. The chief worshipper is the bhoya who goes
into a trance while dancing; others dance in circle around a trishul while keeping
time with the parat and thali (metal plates). Many different types of dresses are
worn by the dancers, representing different characters. In form and style this is a
ritual dance-drama, or rather an occupational dance. In essence, this too is a
fertility rite.8
