Solution(By Examveda Team)

The term 'Dhankara' derives its name from the word 'daang' which means a stick. This dance is performed in a circle with stick and atleast two persons are required to perform this dance. This dance has a certain similarity to dandiya dance of Gujarat. The dancers hold sticks of various colours in their hands. This dance is generally performed at the marriage processions. No special costumes are worn while performing but sometimes the dancers tie a band around their waist.
