Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
Wanvun, literally "chorus", is a style of singing used by Kashmiri people before certain rituals such as Yagnopavit and marriages. It can also be used to describe a music session at which traditional songs are sung. A good influence of Persian, Arabic and Sino-Indian languages induce rich cultural synthesis in Kashmiri musical forms like wanvun.
