Ghora

घोर
Sanskrit

Terrifying, fearsome, dreadful.

Lyrics

Meaning

Ghora describes something that inspires dread — a terrifying forest, a fearsome demon, a dreadful battle. In narrative lyrics it sets the danger a hero walks into, and for the dancer it is a cue for bhayanaka, the fearful sentiment.
