The Karma and Saila dances are folk-dances performed by the Gond tribals. The Karma dance is performed during the Karma festival which occurs in autumn each year. The dance is performed in worship of Karam Devta, the God of Fate, who can bring about good or bad fortune for human beings.
 
The Gond tribals express their enthusiasm and sprit for life by performing the Saila dance in the post-harvest season. The performers use sticks which they hit in rhythm on the sticks of the performers to their side.
 
After watching the performances of the Karma and Saila dances, the peacock decided that he too would dance in the Spring Festival and revel in the enjoyment.
 
Watching the peacock dance, the crow also felt inspired to perform. In his state of high excitement, the crow slung the dhol (double-headed drum) from his neck and began to beat it. However, he could only use his beak to beat the dhol. While doing so, he only succeeded in tearing the skin of the drum.
