This is a dance traditionally performed in the fair at Tarnetar, a small village in Gujarat where young women chose their consorts. The young men who wish to be chosen come to the fair with colourful, beautifully embroidered umbrellas. They also wear equally colourful embroidered jackets. After choosing the consorts, the men and women perform Hudo. They form rows facing each other and dance to music provided by drums, flutes and other musical instruments. The tempo is fast and while dancing the young women clap on the palms of the men.
