Dosa Thoi Long Nai
This is a very important religious dance performed at the 'Bathou Puja' or worshipping of their God-Shiva. In this dance the priestess called Deodhani dances with a bowel on her head in which the blood of a sacrificed fowl is kept. It is believed that while the Deodhani performs this dance in a condition of trance Lord Bathou (Siva) will snatch away the bowel and drink the blood.
