Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
A creation of sixteenth-century saint-reformer Srimanta Sankardeva, Bhaona is a traditional form of entertainment in Assamese and Brajavali languages. He created the form, usually staged in “namghars” (places of worship) and “satras” (Vaishnavite monasteries), to convey religious messages to villagers through entertainment. The special features of Bhaona include plays, dialogues, dances, costumes, ornaments, entry and foot-steps of characters.

Majuli is the centre of Assam’s Vaishnavite culture and Bhaona.
