Karma dance and singing style of Madhya Pradesh tribal Gond tribe, village Lalpur, tehsil Bajag, district Dindori

 
The name of Karma dance is believed to have originated from Karma tree.  Which is a symbol of good fortune.  First of all, Karma tree is established and then dance is performed by moving around it.  Karma dance is performed to please Karmchand Raja and Karmchand Rani i.e.  Dev, Adidev.  And Karma dance is performed to get rain from the clouds.  Karma dance is also performed in the joy of good harvest after it rains and the fields are filled with water.  In this dance, men and women are in equal numbers who are divided into groups and dance by moving back and forth, being close to each other and far away.  The dance is conducted by musical instruments.  The dance is conducted by instruments like Maadar, Timki, Shehnai, Flute, Chatkol, Gudum.  The dress of tribal women and men is simple which is made of cotton.  Its wearing style is above the knee.   The adornments of a woman are anklets on the feet, kardhan on the waist, gajda in the hands, bakhora in the arms, habal around the neck which is made of silver or gilt.  Peacock feathers in the braid and a crest made of them, a white pearl bindi on the forehead and handkerchiefs in the hands.  Similarly, men have iron-made paijna on their feet, a peacock feather jhaali in the hands and sticks of 1.25 feet.  These women and men of the tribal Gond tribe prepare their adornments with their own hands.  They do not buy their adornments from any market or shop.  This is the traditional dress of the tribals.  The songs which they sing during the dance are based on Lord Rama.  Whatever the song is, the last word that comes is Rama.

 Like the lyrics of the song "Ya kahan le aavy tore mati ke madarya o ho hay Ram ya kahan le aavy tor baraati Rama baaja la bajidi mai ray"
