#RIP @queenharish. Such an amazing artist. #JaiGangajal’s ‘Mar Jaava’ fame. “The one and only Whirling, Dancing Desert Drag Queen” as he used to describe himself. Sharing and remembering the moments that I shared with him. Unfortunately he is no more. #OMSHANTI @DrBhagee_Manda pic.twitter.com/nRbgZFh48d

"The death of four persons including the famous artist Queen Harish in a road accident in Jodhpur is very sad. Dedicated to the folk art and culture of Rajasthan, Harish gave a new identity to Jaisalmer with his different dance style. His death is a big loss to the field of folk art," Gehlot said. A native of Jaisalmer, Harish Kumar was popularly known as Queen Harish and his shows comprising of various folk dance forms like Ghoomar, Kalbelia, Chang, Bhawai, Chari among others were very popular. He had gained worldwide recognition for his folk dance skills.
