What are the two main parts corresponding to Lasya and Tandava elements in Manipuri dance?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Jagoi and Cholom.
Jagoi and cholom are the two main divisions in Manipur's dance, the one gentle and the other vigorous, corresponding to the lasya and tandava elements described in Sanskrit literature. They constitute independent streams and an artist spends a lifetime perfecting any form within the spectrum. Manipuri dance is introverted and restrained compared to most other dances of India – the artist never establishes eye contact with the audience.
