Explanation

Jaubani is a traditional folk dance performed by the Dimasa community (also known as Dimasa-Kachari) in North-Eastern India, primarily in the state of Assam. The Dimasa people possess a rich cultural heritage where music and dance are integral to their daily lives and religious ceremonies. During festivals such as Bushu and Hangsao, both men and women dress in traditional attire like Rikaosa and Rigu to perform various dances. Besides Jaubani, other significant Dimasa dance forms include Baidima, Jaupinbani, Rennginbani, and Baichargi. These performances are typically accompanied by traditional musical instruments such as the Muri (flute) and Khram (drum). While other North-Eastern tribes like the Bodos are known for the Bagurumba dance, the Jaubani dance is specifically associated with the Dimasa tribe's socio-cultural and ritualistic traditions.
