Dancers form a circle and dance around each other's waists with arms around each other's waists. The tribal people dance in a circle around a tree that is revered as Karma, holding each other's waists and dancing to the beat of the music to welcome the spring. The Karma tree is thought to be auspicious and provides good luck, according to common belief.Karma is a folk dance performed mostly during the Karma festival. During the Karma festival, which takes place in August, both males and females actively participate in Karma dance. This dancing technique is often practiced to recognize and celebrate the planting of new trees. In Jharkhand, it is believed that Karma, a sacred tree, provides prosperity and good fortune. As a result, the people of Jharkhand celebrate this with a celebration and dance in August. The dancers construct a circle around their new tree plantation and then perform it around each other's waist with their hands. They also pass tree branches to each other during this dance. This dance requires a great deal of work and is only performed by expert dancers. Additionally, when the karma branch is finished with the circle, it is washed with rice and milk. Local tribes also believe that when this procession is completed, the karma branch should not touch the ground and should be hoisted between the dancers for further performance. Men and women dance to the music of Thumki, Chhalla, Payri, and Jhumki instruments. The main musical instrument is a drum known locally as 'timki,' and the dancers dance wildly to the beats of timki. It is placed between the dancers on the ground. The dancers' feet move in perfect time and in a to-and-fro motion. During the dance, the men spring forward, while the women in the group bend low to the ground. They form a circle and wrap their arms around the next dancer's waist before continuing to dance in a rhythmic fashion. The dancers are dressed in traditional ethnic garb and jewelry.The Karma dance form began in the Indian state of Bihar (now Jharkhand). These folks also enjoy lavishly celebrating numerous holidays and events. To honor the Gond tribes' culture and history, 3049 people took part in the world's largest Karma Naach dance, which was registered on the Guinness World Records. edited by ira setia </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Karma_Naach&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Karam_festival" title="Karam festival">Karam festival</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Karma_Naach&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1235681985">.mw-parser-output .side-box{margin:4px 0;box-sizing:border-box;border:1px solid #aaa;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em;background-color:var(--background-color-interactive-subtle,#f8f9fa);display:flow-root}.mw-parser-output .side-box-abovebelow,.mw-parser-output .side-box-text{padding:0.25em 0.9em}.mw-parser-output .side-box-image{padding:2px 0 2px 0.9em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .side-box-imageright{padding:2px 0.9em 2px 0;text-align:center}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .side-box-flex{display:flex;align-items:center}.mw-parser-output .side-box-text{flex:1;min-width:0}}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .side-box{width:238px}.mw-parser-output .side-box-right{clear:right;float:right;margin-left:1em}.mw-parser-output .side-box-left{margin-right:1em}}</style><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1237033735">@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .sistersitebox{display:none!important}}@media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .sistersitebox img[src*="Wiktionary-logo-en-v2.svg"]{background-color:white}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .sistersitebox img[src*="Wiktionary-logo-en-v2.svg"]{background-color:white}}</style><div class="side-box side-box-right plainlinks sistersitebox"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1126788409">.mw-parser-output .plainlist ol,.mw-parser-output .plainlist ul{line-height:inherit;list-style:none;margin:0;padding:0}.mw-parser-output .plainlist ol li,.mw-parser-output .plainlist ul li{margin-bottom:0}</style> <div class="side-box-flex"> <div class="side-box-image"><span class="noviewer" typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4a/Commons-logo.svg/30px-Commons-logo.svg.png" decoding="async" width="30" height="40" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4a/Commons-logo.svg/45px-Commons-logo.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4a/Commons-logo.svg/59px-Commons-logo.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="1376" /></span></span></div> <div class="side-box-text plainlist">Wikimedia Commons has media related to <span style="font-weight: bold;
