The question from the 2007 UPSC Prelims requires matching cultural sites and personalities to their respective domains. (A) Birju Maharaj is the legendary exponent of Kathak, the classical dance form of North India. (B) Hari Prasad Chaurasia is a world-renowned master of the Flute (Bansuri). (C) Ali Akbar Khan was a celebrated virtuoso of the Sarod, belonging to the Maihar gharana. (D) Zakir Hussain is the pre-eminent maestro of the Tabla. Matching these pairs: A-4 (Kathak), B-1 (Flute), C-2 (Sarod), and D-3 (Tabla) leads to the sequence 4-1-2-3. These individuals represent the pinnacle of Indian classical performing arts, spanning both Hindustani instrumental music and classical dance traditions. The provided context [c1] discusses constitutional lists and is irrelevant to this cultural matching task, which relies on established historical and cultural facts regarding India's Sangeet Natak Akademi awardees and Padma award recipients.
