Karam is the worship of Karam-Devta (Karam-Lord/God), the god of power, youth, and youthfulness. The Karam festival is an agricultural festival celebrated by diverse groups of people, including the Ho, Mundadri, Oraon, Kharia, Panch Pargania, Kurukh, Khortha, Korba, Santhali, Nagpuri, and Kurmali speaking people. The festival is held on the 11th day of a full moon (Purnima) of the Hindu month of Bhado, which falls between August and September. Groups of young villagers go to the jungle and collect wood, fruits, and flowers. These are required during the puja (worship) of Karam God. During this period, people sing and dance together in groups. The entire valley dances to the drumbeat "day of the phases".
