Gavari (Devanagari:गवरी) is an annual 40-day ecstatic dance drama tradition practiced only by the Mewari Bhil tribe in Rajasthan, India and dedicated to their principal deity Goddess Gavari (aka Gauri), a Shakti avatar. They perform this centuries-old ceremonial cycle to invoke, experience and celebrate Her creative epiphany and employ ascetic discipline, enraptured trance, and wild theatrics to convey ancient myths, historic events, tribal lore, and satiric political commentary.
