Lavani is a popular theatrical entertainment employing song and dance. It is performed by women to catchy tunes and a brisk rhythm provided by the Dholak, a common drum. Commanding audiences in town and country, Lavani has in the past commented on social issues, politics and religion, serving as a vehicle for the work of leading Marathi poets. In campaigns of Maratha armies in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Lavani performances have provided entertainment to troops.
