Fill in the Blank:
Tippani dance uses ___________ tools to pound the floor.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Wooden sticks.

The Tippani dance is a popular folk dance from the Chorwad and Veraval regions of Saurashtra, Gujarat. Traditionally performed by women of the Koli and Bhil communities, it originated from the labor of pounding the floor with "Tippanis"—long wooden sticks with flat wooden square blocks at the lower end.

This rhythmic pounding was used to consolidate the lime or clay during the construction of house foundations, turning manual labor into a vibrant art form.
