Select the correct answer using the code given below.
The correct option is B (b) Only 1 and 3
Bharatnatyam-originated in Tamil Nadu, name possibly derived from Bharat. In Natya Shastra, Bharatanatyam is described as ekaharya in which one dancer depicts many roles. Siva as Nataraja, the Lord of Dance is depicted in various dance forms.
Bharatnatyam leans heavily on the abhinaya or mime aspect of dance - the nritya, where the dancer expresses the sahitya through movement and mime (gestures and facial expression).
Bharatanatyam is usually accompanied by the classical music. It is practiced by both male and female dancers.
Kathakali- Evolved from many social and religious theatrical forms of Kerala. This dance form is a blend of dance, music and acting and dramatizes stories, which are mostly adapted from the Indian epics.
Kathakali is considered to be a combination of five elements of fine art: Expressions (Natyam, the component with emphasis on facial expressions) Dance (Nritham, the component of dance with emphasis on rhythm and movement of hands, legs and body) Enactment (Nrithyam, the element of drama with emphasis on "mudras", which are hand gestures) Song/vocal accompaniment (Geetha) Instrument accompaniment (Vadyam)
Mohiniyattam- It is a classical dance form from Kerala. It is considered a very graceful form of dance meant to be performed as solo recitals by women
There are approximately 40 basic movements, known as atavukal. The vocal music of Mohiniyattam involves variations in rhythmic structure known as chollu.
