Mujra" is a traditional dance form that originated in South Asia, particularly in the Mughal era. It is a blend of classical Indian dance and Persian dance elements. Historically, it was performed by courtesans or tawaifs in the Mughal courts and was an integral part of the cultural and social life of that period. The performances were known for their grace, elegance, and intricate footwork, and they often included singing and poetry recitations.In modern times, the term "mujra" can have different connotations and is sometimes associated with dance performances in Bollywood movies or in some cases, with less formal settings. However, its historical roots lie in the sophisticated and artistic performances of the courtesans of the Mughal courts.
