Terahtaali is derived from the hindi word '13', it is performed with the aid of 13 cymbals, which are fastened to the bodies of the female dancers who are accompanied by male singers and drummers. It is performed in honour of the local diety, Ramdev, and can be seen at the Ramdevra festival which is held in August or September at the small village of Ramdevra, near Pokhran in western Rajasthan

The Kamad community of Pokhran and Deedwana perform this dance in honour of their deity, Baba Ramdeo. A rather unusual performance where the men play a four-stringed instrument called a chau-tara and the women sit with dozens of manjeeras, or cymbals, tied on all over their bodies and strike them with the ones they hold in their hands. Sometimes, the women also hold a sword between their teeth or place pots with lighted lamps on their heads.This dance is seen in fairs.
