Chhau is a well-known folk dance of Jharkhand recognized for its vigorous movements and masks representing characters and deities. It is performed outdoors at night as a dance drama portraying scenes of attack or hunt. Chhau is often associated with celebrations and communal events. Jharkhand also has other dances like Jhumair, Phagua, Domkach, and Hunta, but Chhau remains the most famous. Pica and Sama Chakewa are less prominent, and Dumka is a district, not a dance form.
