Q. Which Indian state is the folk dance ‘Karma’ associated with?
Answer: Jharkhand
Notes: Karma dance, also called Karma Naach, originated in Jharkhand. It is performed by tribes like Oraon, Munda, and Ho during the Karma festival in August. The dance is done around the sacred Karma tree branch with interlocked arms and accompanied by drums such as timki and thumki. Jharkhand lies on the Chota Nagpur plateau. The dance is also performed in nearby states but is most closely associated with Jharkhand. Some Gond tribal performances in Jharkhand have been recorded by Guinness World Records.
