Correct Answer: BiharYour Answer: A
Jhijhia is a traditional cultural dance of Bihar, especially performed during the period of Dussehra. Women usually participate in this dance, balancing earthen lamps or lanterns on their heads while moving rhythmically. The dance reflects devotion, community participation and the festive spirit of the region. In exam preparation, the main association is Jhijhia equals Bihar. Since Bihar has several regional folk traditions connected with festivals and rural life, this question is often asked to test state-wise dance knowledge. Do not confuse Jhijhia with Gujarat or Rajasthan dances.
