(c) Jatra (d) Chhau

Ans. (d) Chhau

Exp. : A part of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in India, The Chhau Dance is a popular form of tribal dance in India that also integrates elements of martial arts into its movements.

Three styles of Chhau exist born from the three different regions of Seraikella (Jharkhand), Purulia (West Bengal), and Mayurbhanj (Odisha).

1. Seraikella Chhau flourished under royal patronage. Its vigorous martial character made it suitable id="table1" only for male dancers. The princes were not only patrons but also dancers, teachers and mask-making experts. The Seraikella masks are similar to those used in the Noh dance of Japan and the Wayang Wong of Java.

2. Purulia Chhau uses masks which is a highly developed craft in the region. The barren land with its tribal inhabitants and multi-layered influences of Vedic literature, Hinduism and martial folk-lore have all combined to shape the Purulia Chhau dances which have only one message - the triumph of good over evil.

3. Mayurbhanj Chhau has highly developed movements, no masks and a more chiselled vocabulary than the other two Chhau styles. Like Seraikella Chhau, it had also thrived under royal patronage and is considered a link between the earthy Indian dance movements and the flying, springing elevations of Western dance.
