The first Bhavai Dancer of India was Mrs. Krishna Vyas Chhangani, who was born in Jodhpur (Rajasthan). The Dance form consists of veiled women dancers balancing up to 22 brass/metal pitchers on their head with lit the fire up to 9 pitchers as they dance nimbly, pirouetting and then swaying with the soles of their feet perched on the top of a glass or on the edge of the sword.
