Key Points

  • Lezim
    • The Indian state is the Lezim folk dance associated with Maharashtra.
    • Lezim dancers use a small musical instrument with jingling cymbals called the Lezim or lezium, after which the dance style is named, which is often also spelt as "Lezium."
    • In a lezim, there are at least 20 dancers. The wooden idiophone to which tiny metal discs have been affixed and which the dancers utilise while performing the classical dance is the source of the name of this dance.
    • The primary percussion music is played on the drum instrument dholki.
    • It is performed while wearing vibrant outfits. With the dance's numerous callisthenic motions and potential for physical exertion, Maharashtra schools, militias, and other organisations regularly use it as a fitness exercise.
