Lavani features rhythmic footwork, graceful gestures, and vibrant costumes, typically set to fast-paced, rhythmic songs played with traditional instruments. It is celebrated for its energetic style and cultural richness, often performed during festivals and special occasions. Lavani not only provides entertainment but also reflects the social and cultural life of the Marathi people.
