Fugdi is a Maharashtra and Goan folk dance performed by the women in the Konkan region during Hindu religious festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi and Vrata or towards the end of other dances like Dhalo. Fugdi is an art form that can be traced to the primeval cultural traditions of Maharashtra and Goa. It is performed during various religious and social occasions. The women sing and dance while enacting varied formations - in a circle or in rows. The dance starts with invocation to Hindu Gods. The pace is slow in the beginning, but soon attains a fast pace, reaching climax. The dancers match the rhythm by blowing air through the mouth that sounds like "FOO". Hence, it is named as “Foogdi” or “Fugdi”. A few fixed steps and hand gestures and hand laps are the major elements of fugdi. No instrument or musical accompaniment is found with the dance, but special fugdi songs are innumerable.
