Fill in the Blank:
Panthi dancers wear _______ during performance.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Dhoti.

Panthi is a famous folk dance of the Satnami community in Chhattisgarh, primarily performed to celebrate the birth anniversary of Guru Ghasidas. Male dancers wear a simple white dhoti, which symbolizes purity and the austere lifestyle advocated by their spiritual leader. This traditional attire allows for the high-energy movements, acrobatics, and human pyramids that characterize the dance. Sometimes, dancers also wear a white vest or a small waistband to complete the minimalist yet spiritual look.
