The dance they perform is called kachhi ghodi, the horse dance. Because the main character is a rider who dances with a fake horse. It relates the story of thieves who lived about 4 centuries ago in western India. They used to rob rich merchants and gave the money to the poor. It was usually played at marriage time.
