Earlier, the traditional goat and sheep herding Dhangar community was an important component of the rural social system. At that time, Dhangar people used to take herds of goats and sheep for grazing on the mountain Malrana, in the village pastures. At one place, a large circular enclosure was erected and goats and sheep were kept in it. On a moonlit night, all these shepherds gather on the open fields. It was their daily routine to tell each other the pleasant things of the day. They used to enjoy a dinner of bread baked on the stove, chili paste and onion to put on the mouth. At that time bulb or lantern was not even considered by anyone, it was a time before these things even came into reality. A wood fire was lit in the middle of this circular tiger for night light, to reduce the fog in the air and most importantly to protect the entire herd from wild animals. The light of the fire in the dark night was like a broken piece of the sun itself. Around this fireplace all the Dhangars used to dance Gaja with a drum tied around their waist. We often dance when we are happy. The musical instruments, music, body language, wording used in this dance innovation have all been carried forward. This Gaja dance was a means of entertainment for both the performer and the viewer .They used to plead with their ancestors as Gaja danced to the beat of the drum in joy. We used to worship them, praise the merits of our ancestors, and thank them from the bottom of our hearts. To give strength to our ancestors to do this traditional profession with joy and enthusiasm, we used to pray to the creator of the universe. In the open forest, under the roof of the open sky, by setting up a hearth of three stones, they used to offer worship to the creator of the universe, to offer their “Sumbaran”, to allow Gunya Govinda to live life with these Jitras.
