Nritya Chudamani Award is given every year by which cultural institution to an artist of Indian classical dance style?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Sri Krishna Gana Sabha.

The Nritya Chudamani Award is presented every year by Sri Krishna Gana Sabha, a renowned cultural organization based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Established in 1953, the Sabha has been a major promoter of Indian classical music, dance, and drama. The Nritya Chudamani is one of its most prestigious honors, awarded to outstanding artists in various Indian classical dance forms such as Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, and Odissi.

Other options:

  • Kalakshetra Foundation is a premier arts institution in Chennai known for Bharatanatyam training, but it does not confer this award.

  • Kala Utsava is a general cultural festival, not an awarding body.

  • Revathi Natyalaya is a dance school that trains students but does not present the Nritya Chudamani Award.
