    Solution

    Jagoi and Thabal Chongba are traditional dance forms from the northeastern Indian state of Manipur. Jagoi broadly refers to Manipur's classical dance form (often known as Manipuri dance), characterized by its grace, fluidity, and themes based on Vaishnavism, particularly the stories of Radha and Krishna. Performers wear distinctive costumes, including the skirt-like "Potloi." Thabal Chongba, which literally means "moonlight dance," is a popular folk dance traditionally performed during the Holi festival. It involves participants holding hands and dancing in a circle to rhythm and music, creating a communal celebration.
