Cevap

All three statements (1, 2, and 3) are correct.
Yakshagana is an elaborate traditional theatre art that flourished in Karnataka's coastal and Malenadu belt. The performance structure relies on the Bhagavata (lead singer and conductor) who leads the 'Himmela' (background ensemble) and cues the 'Mummela' (actors). It is structurally classified into 'Badagutittu' (Northern style characterized by elaborate headgear and distinct footwork) and 'Tenkutittu' (Southern style noted for high-tempo spinning steps and heavy percussion). Therefore, all three statements are fully correct.
