Who was the founder of the Sattriya dance form of India?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Sankardev.
The Sattriya dance form of India is closely associated with Srimanta Sankardev, a 15th–16th century saint, scholar, and cultural reformer from Assam. He introduced Sattriya as a devotional dance-drama in Vaishnavite monasteries (Sattras) to propagate the teachings of Lord Krishna. Sankardev combined music, dance, and drama to narrate religious stories, making it a spiritual and cultural practice. Over time, his disciple Siddhendra Yogi further codified its techniques, gestures, and expressions, giving it the classical structure recognised today.
