The mascot was a 'reimagined' form of the Mohenjodaro 'Dancing Girl', the iconic copper-bronze statuette made around 2500 BCE and discovered by archaeologist D R Sahni in 1926-27. Instead of the defiant naked young woman, with one hand on her hip and the other resting on her thigh, seemingly ready to pick a fight, the 're-representation' shows a demure, young lady in pose and 'tribalwear' - pink blouse and yellow wraparound - seemingly ready to perform a folk/'adivasi' dance for a visiting VIP delegation.
