Dances of Jammu Province- JAGARNA
The Bindloo and the Jagarna are the dances set to the theme of marriage and martial relationships.
Women perform Jagarna.
Children and men cannot even witness this dance.
It is performed after the Baraat leaves for Bridegrooms house and is carried out whole night. Hence it is called JAGARNA.

Jagarna
This marriage song cum-dance form has the elements of theatre. Whjile the menfolk of the bridegroom's house have gone with the Barat woment folk are left alone in the house.
The bridegroom's mother, aunts, grandmother and other relations indulge in gossips revelations of their marital life and the behaviour of their husbands.
But sometimes, in right earnest, they reveal some intimate incidents and spend the night in the atmosphere which is un-interrupted by menfolk continuing the night with flow of unending gossip and the movement of frolicking feet.
