Jharkhand is the 14th most populous state in the country and the 15th largest in terms of land area. Ranchi is the state's capital, with Dumka serving as a sub-capital, and Jamshedpur serving as the state's largest and busiest industrial city. Rur is a mineral state that is known as "India's Rur" due to its abundant mineral reserves.

Jharkhand culture is diverse and varied, helping it stand out on its own. Visitors are treated as Gods in Jharkhand culture, and they are served and cared for as if they were members of the family. Archaeologists have uncovered pre-Harappan pottery, prehistoric cave paintings, and rock art in Jharkhand. That alludes to ancient, civilised times.

It has become an important multi-ethnic state since various tribes have settled in this part of the world. The Santhals, Oraons, Mundas, Kharias, Hos, and Cheros are some of Jharkhand's thirty indigenous groups, with the Santhals, Oraons, Mundas, Kharias, Hos, and Cheros being the most significant. Buddhism and Jainism, as well as the Mughals and Hindu monarchs, have affected the people, and the state has a combination of tribal cultures.
Jharkhand is home to three separate linguistic groups, each with its own set of dialects. Indo-Aryan languages include Angika, Bhojpuri, Khortha, Nagpuri, Sadri, Hindi, Urdu, Oriya, and Bengali. Munda languages include Kurmali, Korku, Santhali, Mundari, Bhumij, Kharia, and Ho, as well as the Dravidian languages Korwa, Oraon(Kurukh), and Paharia (Malto). Santhali, Mundari, Kurukh, Khortha, Nagpuria, Sadri, Khariya, Panchparagnia, Ho, Malto, Karmali, Hindi, Urdu, Bangla, and other languages are the most widely spoken. In the Santhal Parganas region, Angika is the predominant language of communication.

In this tribal-dominated state, nature has taken precedence in all aspects of life and culture. Sacred tree branches are ceremonially carried into the courtyards and planted. Devotees then worship the parts of the tree associated with gods and goddesses.

Dance and music are essential components of tribal life. They build a sense of belonging and communal living by bringing people together. In practically every hamlet in the state, there are akharas, or gathering grounds, where young men and women meet almost every evening to dance to native music and commemorate major occasions. These dances might last for hours or even days. Hunta Dance, Mundari Dance, Barao Dance, Jitia Karam, Jenana Jhumur, Mardani Jhumur, Seraikella Chhau, Ghora Naach, Domkach, Laha Suya, Jhitka, and Danga are some of the prominent tribal dances of Jharkhand.

Women in Jharkhand wear sarees and blouses, including high-end Tussar silk sarees. Tribal women frequently wear Parthan and Panchi. Non-tribal women, on the other hand, wear a sari with a shirt or western attire. Women favour gold and silver jewellery, which is frequently embellished with beaded embellishments.
Bhagwan is a single piece of fabric worn by men. The men of the Santhal Pargana tribe dress in Santhals and Paharis to distinguish themselves. Kurta-pyjamas or dhotis, as well as shirts and trousers, are worn by men.
