Sammi (
Costume
The dancers are dressed in bright colored
Ghagra or Lehenga
. A peculiar silver hair ornament is associated with this dance.
Performance
Like Giddha it is danced in a circle. The dancers stand in a ring and swing their hands bringing them up from the sides, right in front. The refrain of the most popular Sammi song is "Sammi Meri waar..".
