Jhumar song

Jhumar, also known as Jhumur or Jhumair, is a form of folk music prevalent in the Chota Nagpur Plateau, primarily in Jharkhand, the southwestern region of West Bengal and the northern part of Odisha. It is also found in the Tea states of Assam due to emigration. Jhumar songs are sung during various social events, primarily during festivals such as Karam, Tusu, and Bandna by agricultural and indigenous communities like Kuṛmi, Oraon, Chik Baraik, Bagal, Bhumij, Rajwar, and Munda.
