With reference to the famous Sattriya dance, consider the following statements : 1. Sattriya is a combination of music, dance and drama. 2. It is a centuries-old living tradition of Vaishnavites of Assam. 3. It is based on classical Ragas and Talas of devotional songs composed by Tulsidas, Kabir and Mirabai. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Explicitly identifies a cultural motif linking music, dance and drama (the representation of Nataraja was a motif of Tamil music, dance and drama).

A student could generalize that classical/temple-associated performance forms in India often integrate these three elements and therefore check whether Sattriya, as a devotional/classical form, follows the same pattern.

States that royal/temple patronage included fine arts like music, dance and drama together (Vijayanagar kings patronized music, dance, drama and yakshagana).

Use the pattern that patronized regional performance traditions commonly combined these arts; then investigate whether Sattriya arose under similar institutional patronage (sattra/temple) and thus likely integrates them.

Notes that temples maintained trained groups of dancers and promoted fine arts like music and dance together.

Since many Indian classical dances emerged from temple contexts where multiple arts coexisted, a student could check if Sattriya originated in comparable religious institutions to infer combined music-dance-drama practice.

Describes devotional practice that combined group singing and ecstatic dancing (Chaitanya's movement popularized singing accompanied by dancing).

This shows devotional movements often fuse music and dance; a student could test whether Sattriya, tied to Vaishnavite devotional settings, similarly mixes music and dance and possibly theatrical storytelling.

The Arthashastra (quoted) lists performing arts of the period including music, dance and theatre together, implying a historical pattern of integrated performance arts.

A student could apply this general rule—that classical Indian performing traditions often combine music, dance and theatre—to hypothesize that Sattriya, as a classical tradition, may incorporate all three and then verify through focused sources on Sattriya.
