SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Uttarakhand

The 'Joda' dance is a traditional folk dance of the Himalayan hill region of India.

It is performed on a full-moon night around the festival of Holi, linking it to seasonal and spring celebrations.

This dance belongs to the state of Uttarakhand, where community folk dances mark festivals, fairs and harvest occasions.

Such performances are usually done in groups, with rhythmic movement and local music forming an important part of the hill people's cultural identity.

Goa, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka each possess their own distinct folk dances, but the Joda dance associated with a Holi full-moon night is not from these states.

Therefore, the Joda dance belongs to Uttarakhand.
