1. Terah Taali is a ritualistic devotional folk dance performed by women of the Kamada tribe, involving thirteen cymbals tied to different parts of the body, traditionally presented in honor of folk deity Baba Ramdevji.
2. Bhavai is a masked dance-drama tradition performed exclusively by the Charan bardic community, accompanied solely by the Shehnai to depict historical royal genealogy.
3. Garba is a traditional circular dance performed around a perforated earthen lamp containing an inner light, symbolizing the divine womb and the cyclical nature of existence.

  4. D
    1, 2 and 3

Cevap

Statements 1 and 3 are correct, while statement 2 is incorrect.
The combination of statements 1 and 3 is correct. Terah Taali is indeed a devotional folk dance of the Kamada tribe honoring Baba Ramdevji with 13 cymbals, and Garba symbolically revolves around the Garbha Deep representing cosmic life cycles. Statement 2 is false because Bhavai is an unmasked acrobatic folk theater tradition using the Bhungal horn and performed by Targala/Nayak communities rather than Charan bards.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Statement 1 regarding Terah Taali dance.
Statement 1 is correct. Terah Taali is a unique devotional folk dance of Rajasthan performed by women of the Kamada tribe. The dancers tie thirteen 'manjiras' (brass cymbals) onto their legs and arms, playing them in rhythm while performing intricate movements dedicated to folk hero Baba Ramdevji.
Verifies community and performance characteristics of Terah Taali.
2
Analyze Statement 2 regarding Bhavai performance art.
Statement 2 is incorrect. Bhavai is a popular folk theater form of Gujarat and Rajasthan characterized by unmasked dramatic facial expressions, acrobatic feats (such as balancing multiple brass pots on the head), and musical accompaniment primarily using the 'Bhungal' (long brass horn), double-headed drums, and cymbals. It is traditionally performed by communities like the Targala, Nayak, and Bhojak, not exclusively by the Charan bards.
Identifies erroneous claims about performance medium, instruments, and traditional community patrons.
3
Analyze Statement 3 regarding Garba symbolism.
Statement 3 is correct. Garba derives its name from 'Garbha Deep' (womb lamp), featuring a perforated earthen vessel with a lamp inside, around which dancers move in concentric circles representing the eternal cycle of time and divine mother energy.
Confirms the ritual symbolism and iconographic context of Garba.
