'Jaago' dance is related to which of the following state?
Punjab
The question links the folk performance called 'Jaago' to a particular state, so the answer turns on the regional wedding tradition it belongs to.
Jaago is a lively folk dance-and-song ritual performed during the celebrations leading up to a wedding, typically on the night before the marriage ceremony.
The very word 'jaago' means 'wake up' or 'stay awake'; the maternal relatives of the bride or groom lead the ritual, and women balance a decorated earthen pot (gaggar) fitted with lighted oil lamps on their heads.
They move through the lanes of the neighbourhood singing spirited, often teasing wedding songs (boliyan) and dancing, rousing relatives and neighbours from sleep to join the night-long festivity.
This custom, with its mix of devotion, humour and community bonding, is a well-established part of the marriage culture of Punjab and is closely tied to Punjabi folk forms like Giddha.
Jharkhand is known for tribal forms such as Chhau and Paika, Odisha for its classical Odissi and folk Ghumura, and Maharashtra for the vigorous Lavani and Tamasha, none of which is associated with Jaago.
Hence, the Jaago dance belongs to Punjab.
