Ghoomar celebrates the spirit of Rajasthan, builds connections across communities and grows with a purpose beyond performance.
Founded by Anjali Bapna, Ghoomar is an independent cultural initiative created to preserve and promote authentic Rajasthani folk dance across the world — while building opportunities to support artists, artisans, communities and meaningful social causes.
Dance is the beginning, not the boundary. Ghoomar's longer journey connects cultural preservation with people, livelihoods, community and giving back.
Promote authentic Ghoomar and Rajasthani folk traditions across borders.
Work with carefully selected professional folk artists and trainers.
Bring visibility over time to artisans, designers, photographers, performers and local contributors.
Grow with the intention of contributing to society, underserved communities and animal welfare.
Ghoomar is not an open artist marketplace. Artists and trainers are selected by Anjali and Ghoomar based on quality, experience, authenticity and alignment with the initiative. Future discovery may happen through selected events or invitation-based programs.
Ghoomar’s first Rajasthani dance workshop in the Netherlands is fully booked — a beautiful beginning for a growing cultural community.
Founder of Ghoomar • Founder of Ignited Minds
Anjali believes culture can be a bridge — between generations, communities and countries. After building Ignited Minds in the Netherlands, Ghoomar is an independent journey rooted in her own cultural heritage and her desire to give back to society.
Her personal “Why Ghoomar?” story will become the emotional heart of this section once finalized.
Stories, culture, artists and the journey from the Netherlands to a wider global community.

Beginning in the Netherlands, Ghoomar's vision is a worldwide cultural community where heritage is preserved, people are valued and growth creates opportunities to give back.
