Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 (A-4, B-3, C-1, D-2). This matching correctly identifies the regional origins of these diverse Indian folk dances:

  • A-4 (Bhavai - Rajasthan): Bhavai is a traditional folk dance of Rajasthan (also practiced in Gujarat), characterized by women balancing multiple earthen pots on their heads while dancing.
  • B-3 (Thabal Chongba - Manipur): This is a popular Meitei folk dance performed during the Yaoshang festival in Manipur, where participants dance in a circle holding hands.
  • C-1 (Cheraw - Mizoram): Known as the "Bamboo Dance," Cheraw is one of the oldest dances of Mizoram, involving the rhythmic clapping of bamboo staves.
  • D-2 (Bhortal Nritya - Asom): Developed by Narahari Burha Bhakat, this energetic dance involves the use of cymbals (Bhortal) and is a significant cultural expression of Assam (Asom).

Options 1, 2, and 4 are incorrect because they misattribute these specific cultural identities to the wrong states.
