Tippani Dance

Tippani is a form of folk dance which originates from the Veraval and Chorwad region of Saurashtra in Gujarat, India.

==Etymology== Tippani is made of two long wooden sticks of about 175 cm joined by a square wooden or iron block called garbo at the lower end to make it stronger in opposite rows. It was used to press lime into the foundation of a house or floor in older times. The dance originated among laborers such as Koli community who broke the stones and leveled the ground who performed it to avoid monotony of the work.
