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.
