Russian woman’s joyful dance to Rajasthani folk song wins the Internet

In the land where vibrant colours, music, and tradition converge—Rajasthan, a beautiful cultural moment unfolded and quickly became a viral sensation. A Russian woman, Polina Agrawal, captivated social media users with her joyful dance to a song sung by Rajasthani folk musicians, and the heart-touching moment has since racked up over 4 million views on Instagram.

The Moment That Sparked Smiles

The enchanting video, shared by Polina herself, was captured during a casual stroll through a bustling Rajasthani market. Polina, who is married to an Indian man, is seen warmly greeting a group of local folk singers. As she sits down beside them, the musicians strike up a personalised performance, lovingly addressing her as “Polina Baisa” — a respectful term for women in Rajasthan.

The lyrics, brimming with affection, roughly translate to:

“Her voice is sweet, her smile is lovely, she lights up our courtyard with her presence.”
Moved by their gesture, Polina rises and begins dancing joyfully, her carefree moves reflecting the warmth and rhythm of the moment.

Netizens poured in their appreciation. One user wrote, “They picked the perfect song for you. Loved the lyrics and your dance, Polina Baisa.” Another added, “Padharo Mhare Desh,” a traditional Rajasthani welcome meaning, “Come, be part of our land.”
