Ghoomar is often performed on special occasions, such as at weddings, festivals and religious occasions.[7] which sometimes lasts for hours. Customs, History and Archaeology have confirmed that in Royal Households, Ghoomar has never been done by Royal Ladies of Undivided India, particularly in the presence of Men, and that it was confined to very private amusement of Royal Ladies, if at all, very occasionally, this traditional Dance was performed in Royal Households. The same sources have confirmed that Skin Show and Face Show are strictly the polar opposites of the traditional Ghoomar Dance and its traditional Attire.

@bold - even though I'm quoting this from wikipedia, the same is being reiterated by numerous rajput women who are voicing their concerns over the movie's content.

first of all a Maharani performing Ghoomar would be a very rare occurrence in Royalties...and on top of that even the traditional ghoomar attire was not followed, even while making a Maharani like padmavati dance to it.. so what is being projected in the song is just another bollywood dance number in the guise of Ghoomar... obviously questions will be raised about what more creative liberties SLB has taken in the film.

HAHA I read "Skin Show and Face Show" I was like W*F? Who wrote this stuff?

So I went to Wiki edit history and it showed all the bold parts were actually added on 20 Nov 2017, like literally yesterday. And there is zero references provided while also claiming "confirmed".

Before yesterday, this was what the entire wiki said

Ghoomar is a traditional folk dance of Rajasthan, India. The dance is chiefly performed by veiled women who wear flowing dresses called ghaghara.^[1] It was ranked 4th in the list of "Top 10 local dances around the world" in 2013.^[2][3] The dance typically involves performers pirouetting while moving in and out of a wide circle. The word ghoomna describes the twirling movement of the dancers and is the basis of the word ghoomar.^[4][5] According to the tradtional rituals, newly married bride is expected to dance ghoomar on being welcomed to her new marital home.^[6] Ghoomar is often performed on special occasions, such as at weddings, festivals and religious occasions.^[7] which sometimes lasts for hours.

Until Oct, the page always mentioned that Ghoomar was traditionally performed in Sindh, Pakistan too but now the Pakistan stuff is removed. So much for historical accuracy 😃

Still laughing that someone actually edited the wiki with "Face Show and Skin Show" 👏

The lessons I learnt from Padmavati controversy is;

There are people who still believe that it is dishonorable for the noble woman to dance in front of the crowd and dance with the dasi'.The irony is India honors the dancers by giving Padma awards and the minister even posted the traditional clip of the recent ceremony praising the Indian culture.

A woman showing even a little bit of waist is disgraceful, swaying it as part of the traditional dance moves will instantly will be termed it as belly dance. Doesn't it hint that the woman who shows waist is disgraceful and they actually do it for attracting attention.

we are talking about 13-14 century when traditions, customs and dressing styles were vastly different from the current times... otherwise people would have protested for deepkia's "mai lovely ho gayi yaar"too...but in-contrast no-one batted an eye for that cos it is considered normal for the current era. no-one considers dancing as dishonorable in current era...times have changed u see.

Padmavati the women burn her body alive to save her dignity is considered as the goddess, in short the goddess can be helpless and will leave with no option other than suicide. I am not belittling the sacrifice of padmavati but considering her action as Godly is conveying a wrong message, no wonder in many villages of Rajasthan a woman is considered as non-entity after the death of the husband and in some villages even untouchability of widow woman is practiced.

if you are seriously comparing Johar with suicide and sati then it's useless to even debate with u on this point, or any other points... I give up

If Rajasthani has so much prob with such waist then why their state has so many semi nude sculptures of ancient Indian women ?

Nudity should be the last thing for the controversy.India is filled with erotic women sculptures .
