The Domkach is a distinctive folk dance of the Chotonagpur area of Jharkhand. The women of the bridegroom’s family perform this ceremonial dance after his baraat has left for the bride’s house. Since most men have left with the baraat, the women are on their own at home. Through this dance, they keep themselves awake and entertained. Moving in circles, they poke fun at each other and crack jokes through their satiric songs.
