Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

Tippani is a vibrant folk dance originating from the Chorwad region of Saurashtra, Gujarat. Historically, it was performed by women laborers who used "Tippani" sticks—long wooden poles with square wooden blocks at the bottom—to beat the ground and solidify the floor of newly constructed houses. Over time, this rhythmic labor activity evolved into a celebratory dance. It is characterized by synchronized movements, rhythmic beats of the sticks, and traditional folk songs, symbolizing the strength and spirit of working-class women.
