English: Deodhani dance (Assamese: দেওধনী নৃত্য) is a Shaman folk dance from the Indian state of Assam. It is as a solo or group performance. Deodhani is of Bodo-kachari origin.[1] In the group performance, it essentially comprises 3 or 4 women. This dance form is associated with the worship of the snake goddess Manasa or Marei/Maroi.[citation needed] A Deodhani dance is generally performed to the accompaniment of songs sung by an oja, an Assamese traditional chorus leader, [2] during the dance in undivided Darrang district only.
