Kalbelia dance is inspired by the movement of __________.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Serpent (Snake).
Kalbelia dance is inspired by the movement of Serpent (Snake). It is a traditional folk dance of the Kalbelia community of Rajasthan, who were historically snake charmers. The dancers wear black, swirling costumes resembling a cobra’s smooth flow, and their steps replicate the graceful, winding motion of a snake. In 2010, UNESCO recognized Kalbelia as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, highlighting its cultural value and unique identity.
The other options are incorrect:
- Peacock dance is associated mainly with Punjab and imitates the peacock’s courtship moves.
- Horse movements relate more to Rajasthani folk forms like Kachhi Ghodi dance.
- River waves do not specifically inspire any traditional Rajasthani dance style, making it unsuitable here.
