Tappa style of music was refined and developed in which of the following Mughal Emperor's Court?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

The Tappa style of music was refined and developed in the court of the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah (reigned 1719–1748), often referred to as "Rangeela" for his patronage of the arts. Tappa originated from the folk songs of the camel riders of North-West India (Punjab). It is characterized by its fast-paced, rolling, and intricate melodic patterns (tanas).

The credit for refining this folk form into a sophisticated semi-classical style goes to Mian Gulam Nabi Shori (also known as Shori Mian), who was a prominent musician in Muhammad Shah's court. While earlier emperors like Akbar and Shahjahan patronized classical forms like Dhrupad and Khayal, the later Mughal period under Muhammad Shah saw the flourishing of lighter and more expressive forms like Tappa and Thumri.
