Which of the following war dances is performed in the Ngada festival and is performed by the tribes of Nagaland?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Rengma.
Rengma is a traditional war dance performed by the Rengma tribe of Nagaland, mainly during the Ngada festival, which is celebrated as a post-harvest festival. The dance showcases the warrior spirit, bravery, and unity of the tribe, often accompanied by traditional attire, headgear, and weapons. Through rhythmic movements and chants, it narrates stories of past battles and tribal valour. Other options—Dalkhai (Odisha), Garadi (Puducherry), and Jawara (Madhya Pradesh)—are folk dances from different regions and are unrelated to Nagaland’s culture.
