Jhumoir Binandini Dance

The Prime Minister of India will attend Jhumoir Binandini (Mega Jhumoir) 2025, a grand cultural event featuring 8,600 performers showcasing the Jhumoir dance.

About Jhumoir (Jhumur) Binandini Dance

Jhumoir Binandini Dance

Jhumoir Binandini is a landmark cultural event celebrating the contributions of the tea tribe to Assam’s heritage.

Origin of Jhumoir (Jhumur) Dance

Jhumur was brought to Assam by the tea garden community.
It is a folk dance of the Sadan ethnolinguistic group, tracing their origins to the Chotanagpur region (Jharkhand).

Tea Tribe

The tea tribe refers to a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic community of tea garden workers and their descendants.
These people migrated from Central India, mainly from present-day Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and West Bengal.
They settled in Assam in the 19th century to work in tea gardens established by the British.

Significance and Celebrations

Jhumur is performed during the harvest season. It plays a central role in “tea garden festivals” celebrated by tea garden workers in Assam.
Other major tea garden festivals include Tushu Puja and Karam Puja, both of which celebrate the harvest.

Performance Style

Women are the primary dancers and singers, while men play musical instruments such as the madal, dhol, dhak, flutes, and cymbals.
Traditional attire includes red and white sarees, which are particularly popular among women.

Themes of Jhumur Songs

Although Jhumur songs are lively and rhythmic, many of them depict the hardships faced by tea plantation workers.
The lyrics narrate stories of migration, exploitation, and the social struggles of the tea garden community.
