So someone said Mujra is not indian I would recomend this person to read this
Mujra is a form of dance originated bytawaif (courtesans) during the Mughal erawhich incorporated elements of the native classical Kathak dance onto music such asthumris and ghazals or poems of those from other Mughal cultures such as Bahadur Shah Zafar.[1] Mujra was traditionally performed atmehfils and in special houses called kothas. During Mughal rule in the indian subcontinent, in places such as Jaipur, the tradition of performing mujra was a family art and often passed down from mother to daughter amongst Muslim practitioners. The profession was a cross between art and exotic dance, with the performers often serving as courtesans amongst Mughalroyalty or wealthy patrons.
'Mujra' is also the traditional way of greeting among Marathas.[2] A slight bow, then flapping the right hand in front of the chest 3 times is the traditional mode of greeting/salutation with which the courtiers in the Maratha princely states greeted their Maharaja, Maharani, their children, and other members of the royal family. It is performed with a good deal of flourish and style, and does not come easily to outsiders. It is still the proper way of salutation among the Maratha royal families, across India.[3]
