from the Karma tree[ambiguous],
which stands for fortune and good

and dance with their arms around each
other's waists. As the drum beats get
quicker and louder, the dancers gain
momentum and generally end in an
uproarious tumult.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/tribesofindiah-240208200146-b1995c85/85/tribes-of-indiah-pptx-26-320.jpg)
