'Jaago' dance is related to which of the following state?

The correct answer is

Punjab

Jaago is a lively folk tradition performed as part of wedding celebrations, especially the night before the marriage.

Women carry a decorated earthen pot fitted with lamps on their heads while singing and dancing through the night.

The word 'jaago' means to wake up, as the group moves around rousing relatives and the neighbourhood to join the festivities.

This custom is strongly associated with the cultural traditions of Punjab, not Jharkhand, Odisha or Maharashtra.

Hence, the Jaago dance belongs to Punjab.
