Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The 'Jhumati' or 'Jhumar' song and dance form constitutes an integral part of the folk culture of the state of Jharkhand. It is performed primarily by tribal communities during the agricultural season, festivals, and social gatherings.
The rhythm of Jhumati songs is exceptionally melodious and infectious—compelling one to dance—and serves to reflect collective unity as well as the simplicity of rural life.
Beyond Jharkhand, this art form is also popular in parts of Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and West Bengal; however, its roots remain deeply embedded in the soil of Jharkhand.
This folk art has survived through generations, preserved via the medium of oral tradition.
