The Kalbelia is the celebrated dance of the traditional snake-charming tribes of the Thar desert of Rajasthan, the desert state of western India. Since India’s wildlife conservation laws closed down the avenue of snake-charming decades ago, the Kalbelia tribes have concentrated on the performing arts in which they have gained renown worldwide.
