The dance named as Jhumar dance from an ornament called as "Jhumar" commonly worn on forehead by young married women, since the women exclusively perform this dance. In some parts of the state, this is also known as the `Hariyanvi Gidda`. Dressed in colourful costumes, the ladies dance in happiness by singing and clapping with the beats of `dholak` and `thali`. At the same time, they are gracefully moving in a circle. There are many variations in performing this dance, each with its own distinctive rhythm. The performance lasts for several hours. Any girl from the group comes forward and starts singing the following song:
"Kori kori chandi ki chandri ghari,
oupar gharyanagina,
hai mana tari sohn,
Phagun ka must mahina aiya".
After beginning the dance, another girl steps forward to come inside, swaying rhythmically with perfect poise and steps. Both share the second line of the song sung by them. The tempo of the dancing increase as the dance proceeds further. The other girls do not leave their places but keep on singing the song and clap their hands or against each other. There is a short pause before a new line of the song is started. This dances somewhat similar to the well-known Punjabi Giddha and is thus named Haryanvi Giddha. It is common in all parts of the state Haryana.
