The Jat-Jatni folk dance originates from Bihar's Mithila region and portrays the married life of the Jat-Jatin farmer couple. It is performed mainly by women during moonlit monsoon nights and narrates their love, separation due to seasonal migration, and rural hardships. The dance includes themes such as interference by a boatman and ends on a happy note. There is no association of this dance with tribes like Kharwar, Natau, or Pahadiya from Jharkhand.
