keywords: 

{'assam': [13, 2, 2, 11], 'punjab': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'naqqual': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'orissa': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'ankia nat': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'bihar': [1, 0, 2, 2], 'tamasha': [0, 1, 0, 2], 'baha': [0, 1, 0, 0]}

The correct answer is option 3: `Ankia Nat ... Assam`. Now, let`s break it down:

Option 1: `Naqqual ... Bihar` is incorrect because Naqqali is a narrative theatrical genre that originated in Persia and later spread to India. It is not specifically associated with Bihar.

Option 2: `Tamasha ... Orissa` is also wrong. Tamasha is a traditional form of Marathi theatre, predominantly seen in the state of Maharashtra, and not Orissa (now known as Odisha).

Option 3: `Ankia Nat ... Assam` is the correct match. Ankia Naat is a traditional style of one-act plays from Assam, created by the 16th-century scholar and playwright Shankardeva.

Option 4: `Baha ... Punjab` is incorrect because Baha is a springtime festival celebrated by the Santhal people in Eastern India, specifically in regions of Jharkhand and West Bengal, not in Punjab.
