A mesmerizing, spectacular, fabulous show of poets, musicians, dancers and fakir from the country of Maharajas.

With six musicians and one dancer-fakir, The Dhoad Gypsies are dedicated to gathering the leading figures of the northwest Indian state of Rajasthan’s musician castes. Award-winning founding musician and Artistic Director Rahis Bharti has spent over 22 years spreading the musical culture of Rajasthan to a worldwide audience.

The era of the Maharajas was a time of bejeweled kings, opulent palaces filled with the finest art, and a rich cultural tradition of Rajasthan – the land of the kings. Dhoad Gypsies of Rajasthan take us back to these times, re-creating the experiences of the public spectacle of palace life.

With an impressive tour history of over 110 countries including venues, festivals and performances to the likes of Presidents, Queens and nobility, it is no wonder the Dhoad Gypsies are known as The Cultural Ambassadors of Rajasthan. Witness seven generations of ancient to modern music passed down through the ages in this fascinating country.
